Czechs donate 173 tonnes of food in second annual food drive

Czech consumers, as well as firms and internet users, on Saturday donated 173 tonnes of food in the second annual food donation drive for people living in poverty. One hundred and forty-six tonnes came from regular shoppers, almost 26 tonnes from firms and the remainder from members of the public over the internet. The amount far surpassed last year's figure of 66 tonnes. Three times as many stores took part in the drive as well as more than 2,000 volunteers, organisers revealed.
