Quality meals for the underprivileged!

Solidarity pot of Valérie

forLe Chainon Manquant

10 million tons of food are thrown away every year. More than 10 million people live in food insecurity. It just doesn't make sense! Every day, Le Chainon Manquant volunteers collect quality surplus food to offer fresh produce to charitable associations, redistributing nearly 400,000 meals a year. 1 donation of €1 = one meal redistributed to an underprivileged person. Many thanks for your support (donations tax-free at 75% up to €1,000, then 66%).

Offering quality local meals to people in precarious situations

The organization Le Chainon Manquant

Less waste and more sharing for quality food solidarity! 10 million. That's the number of tons of food thrown away every year in France - a huge environmental waste! That's also the approximate number of people in food insecurity who can't feed themselves according to their needs. It makes no sense! Solutions do exist, however, to bridge the gap between surplus and need. To improve access for the most underprivileged to a varied, quality food, the association Le Chainon Manquant is proposing an anti-gasp and solidarity-baseddisposal adapted to fresh, fragile produce. Every day, its volunteers collect surplus fresh produce in a fridge van - notably from events, markets or collective catering - then immediately redistribute it to nearby solidarity associations, endeavoring to share it according to the associations' ability to revalue it.

What will my donation be used for?

To improve access for the most disadvantaged to varied, quality food, Le Chainon Manquant offers an anti-gasping, solidarity-based scheme adapted to fresh, fragile produce. Every day, Le Chainon Manquant volunteers collect surplus quality foodstuffs (fruit, vegetables, proteins, most often already cooked) from professionals - notably from the events industry, and collective catering - then immediately redistribute them to nearby solidarity associations (solidarity distributions, solidarity restaurants, shelters, social grocery stores ...), according to their needs, to help people in precarious situations. In 2024, 178 tonnes of foodstuffs were saved from destruction by nearly 400 dynamic and committed volunteers. This represented the equivalent of over 355,000 quality meals distributed to nearly 80 solidarity associations and the thousands of people in precarious situations whom they support. Thanks to your difts, Le Chainon Manquant will be able to: - Achieve a digital transformation that has become indispensable, - Renew part of the logistics fleet that has become aging, - Launch new sources of supply, to capture ever more fresh, quality produce, - Extend its circuits, multiply cooperation or transformation projects . Together, let's bring quality food to even more people in difficulty!
