The distribution of food is carried out by voluntary associations which fight hunger
on the ground.
The Food Banks sign agreements with local humanitarian or charity organizations
and distribute the food collected to them.
This food aid is always tailored to the needs of the recipients:
- food is made available on the premises of associations;
- meals are served in welcome centers or distributed on the street to the homeless;
- "open house meals", in which the recipients share meals with volunteer workers,
are served in friendly, convivial surroundings where recipients also find warmth,
comfort, support and assistance to help them overcome their ordeal;
- food stores are run and stress recipient autonomy and self-esteem, in a learning
environment.

« You give very little
when you give your possessions.
It is when you give yourself
that you truly give. »
