I am a trader and I want to help
Are you a manager of a grocery shop, shopping centre or restaurant and would like to donate food for people fleeing Ukraine?
You can contact charities near you, especially: French Red Cross, Restos du Cœur, Secours Populaire and Secours Catholique.
Only non-perishable products sold at room temperature are accepted (pasta and rice, cakes and biscuits, canned fruit and vegetables, sterilised terrines and pâtés, UHT milk, etc.).
It is not possible to donate refrigerated or frozen products due to the incapacity to maintain the cold chain.
Do you run a shop?
Become a retailer who stands in solidarity. If you wish to signal your solidarity, you can display “The Bell” (La Cloche) label on your shop window. The person in need will be able to identify your shop thanks to the cryptograms associated with the proposed offer: for example access to hygiene services, the offer of food products or chatting with people.
