Solidarity grocery & food parcels
1,240 food parcels handed out in 2025A weekly grocery where people pay 10% of the shelf price, and emergency parcels for the weeks when even that is too much.
Hunger in our city is rarely spectacular. It looks like a parent skipping dinner so the children do not, or a pensioner living on bread by the 20th of the month.
The need
One household in seven around us regularly cuts meals for lack of money. Food banks help, but queuing for a handout costs people something no one budgets for: dignity.
What we do
- A solidarity grocery open every Wednesday and Saturday, where beneficiaries shop like anywhere else and pay 10% of the shelf price
- Emergency food parcels within 24 hours, no paperwork required for the first one
- Fresh produce bought from three local farms, not only long-life surplus
- A coffee corner staffed by volunteers, half the visits end with a conversation that matters more than the bag
The impact
1,240 food parcels handed out in 2025 and 96 households shopping weekly at the grocery. Two thirds of the families we meet leave the programme within a year, which is the point.
Outrage is free. Groceries are not.
Every euro is spent where you can check it: our accounts are published yearly, and 66% of your gift comes back at tax time (75% up to €1,000 a year, this fights hunger and homelessness). Anger, converted into baskets.
free meals, every single week
Two hands.
Two hours.
That is all a shift takes. No committee, no training weekend before you are useful: you come, someone shows you, you help. The movement is made of people who showed up once and stayed.
- Evenings, outreach and soup runs
- Saturdays, grocery and collections
- School hours, tutoring and paperwork help
