For Yanick, a two-time volunteer, and Lucas, who has participated three times, solidarity has a powerful meaning of “coming together” and “sharing”. The Samedi du Partage initiative brings these values to life.
Yanick shares his impressions: “For me, the important thing is the impact that these events have. They provide help directly. The donations come from individuals rather than organizations or companies; it’s a real moment of solidarity between people.” Lucas adds: "Sharing something, even if it’s just a packet of rice or pasta, can really help people. It’s the act of donating itself that counts.”
Yanick reminds us of the importance of volunteering: “You’ve just got to go for it. It’s fun, enjoyable and creates a sense of togetherness. Of course, there are times when it’s also a bit hectic, but that's all just part of this great experience. I would like more people to get involved so that we can really expand the reach of this initiative and help all those in need.”
Tangible results
Thanks to the efforts of volunteers like Yanick and Lucas, Samedi du Partage has collected more than 149 tons of food, helping over 15,000 people in the Canton of Vaud.
Future projects
Yanick and Lucas are already planning the next events and are hoping to mobilize even more volunteers and resources. The next Samedi du Partage days will take place on 13 and 14 June and 28 and 29 November 2025.
Don't delay and join Yanick and Lucas in the fight against poverty!
