The Food Bank Against Hunger in the Algarve continues to find innovative ways to feed the poor. The programme has seen its collection of paper converted into cash that has enabled 85 additional tons of food to be distributed through the 'Paper for Food ' campaign since it started in January.
"The campaign is still continuing and the Algarve Food Bank is in second place nationally, just behind Lisbon," said the President of the charitable organisation, Nuno Alves who said that in the Lisbon area there are around 2 million people, while in the Algarve there are only between 400-450 thousand.
