Buying groups in priority neighborhoods

The current crises are putting a great many people and families in a vulnerable position as they lose their jobs or see their incomes decline, and suffer from social isolation amid a likely long-term context of health, environmental, and economic risks

The Vrac & Cocinas association supports the development of community-based, solidarity-driven buying groups for quality products (organic, ethically sourced, local) in neighborhoods prioritized by urban policy.

Its mission is to enable residents of these neighborhoods with limited incomes to access food that is carefully chosen and not dictated to them, thanks to the sale of products at cost price and in bulk!

VALUES:

• Access to healthy, dignified, and sustainable food
• Solidarity with producers
• Encouraging health promotion: by providing the opportunity to consume healthy products through a positive approach to dietary diversification that takes into account the determinants of health.

Enabling members to adopt an eco-friendly approach: by purchasing bulk products sourced from short and local supply chains
