In Angers, the Secours populaire faced with the increase in food demand


Square picture

In this period of inflation in France, associations helping the poorest have to respond to an ever-increasing demand, in a context that is boosting the number of beneficiaries in rural areas in particular. The public is faced with increasingly difficult distances to travel to obtain food aid, while the price of food and petrol is rising. And sometimes you have to make a difficult choice between refueling… or eating.
