HopHopFood teams in Lyon
HopHopFood helps thousands of students in Lyon since October 2022
In a context where 2 out of 3 students are in an extremely precarious situation: their "living expenses" don't reach €50 after bills paid (source: https://linkee.co/synthese-de-letude-precarites-etudiantes-deux-ans-apres-rien-na-change/). In October 2022, HopHopFood opened its Lyon branch to help students gain access to varied, healthy and free products. Today, they already help 2,000 students and will soon be helping 5,000 in December. La Maison Pignol has decided to join the movement to get involved in local solidarity and help students. Every day, the Lyon-based teams raise awareness among numerous retailers to encourage them to turn to anti-gaspi solidarity.
