This weekend in Geneva nearly three thousand people queued to collect donated care packages.
Many people and families are being hard hit by the lockdowns. Those most affected are cleaners, home help and bar staff.
A lot - although not all - are those living and working without the correct papers. But in Geneva, the canton only wants to help and make sure no one goes hungry, so authorities are turning a blind eye to those in the queues.
Harriet Hadfield volunteered over the weekend and spoke to Mark Butcher.
