Banques Alimentaires (Food Banks)

In order to participate in the dissemination of healthy and sustainable food for all, Fondation Avril and the Fédération Française des Banques Alimentaires signed their first three-year partnership in 2015. A study on rural precariousness and a guide to food aid in rural areas have been produced. During these three years, the Foundation also supported 7 local initiatives led by local Food Banks, to enable people in precarious situations to access quality food aid.

As part of its second three-year partnership, renewed in 2018, the Foundation wanted to expand its approach by mobilizing all local Food Banks around a series of internal calls for projects called “For food solidarity in rural areas”. Given the long distances to be covered in the countryside, the Foundation focuses on projects working on the creation of new services or pooling of equipment, to better assist its beneficiaries.
