A rise in food aid recipients

The number of people welcomed to Restos du Coeur increased by 22% in March 2023 compared to the same period of the previous year.

The food bank network found a 9% increase in demand for food aid at the end of 2022.

More than half (53%) of social and solidarity grocery stores who responded to a questionnaire from the National Union of Social and Solidarity Grocery Groups (Ugess) noted in 2022 a 20% increase in the number of visitors received.

The Alerte collective, bringing together 34 associations, calls on the government to “respond immediately” to the “social emergency” driven by rising prices for the most modest. He asks that the next revaluation of social minima, on April 1, be higher than inflation.
