Italy

Continued support for the hungry

For the past eight years, Aspen Italia has supported Banco Alimentare, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2021.

Despite the ravaging impact that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have on Italians, we were determined to hold fast to our longstanding partnership with this worthy cause.

Unfortunately lock-down restrictions prevented us from volunteering in person to support Banco Alimentare's during 2021. Our only alternative to assist this organisation with it's feeding scheme was through a donation of nearly US$6 000.

This contribution is small comfort in the face of the pandemic, but we believe that our donation will be graciously accepted and wisely used to assist the 21 local food banks across Italy that redistribute supplies to impoverished people.
