Solution
The aim of this project is to develop the referencing of solutions on the theme of food aid in Soliguide on a national scale.
Concretely, this will require: mapping all food aid services throughout mainland France, training and raising awareness among food aid players in the use of the tool, disseminating it to as many people as possible and then adapting it to the specific needs of food aid and the new départements.

Change of working hours, end-of-year celebrations: what's the impact on social action structures?
In winter, particularly in December, many structures adjust their opening hours or close temporarily, including social action departments. For this reason, Solinum carries out a twice-yearly update of its database Soliguide, to ensure that the information is up-to-date and of high quality.
This year, on the Soliguide platform, we updated information for 17,800 structures, representing a total of 60,700 different services. 37% of structures updated themselves autonomously, i.e. without external help from our territorial teams.
🔒How many social action services closed during the winter period (between November and January)?
More than 1/4 of social action services closed their doors at least one day during winter 2023. Of these services, 39% closed between 4 and 7 days, and 15% closed between 8 and 15 days.
The week between Christmas and New Year is the most impacted by these closures. A real challenge to direct people to suitable services that are not saturated.
🍽️Focus on food aid
Since 2022, Solinum has begun the process of referencing all food aid services on Soliguide on a national scale: food distributions, social and solidarity grocery stores, solidarity restaurants, etc.). In partnership with social action players, all our forces are mobilized to facilitate access to food for those who need it. It's 6704 locations for food aid and 10591 services for food aid referenced.
This winter, between November 22 and January 6, 2024, 28% of food aid services closed at least one day, and of these services, 29% closed between 4 and 7 days. The week of December 25 is the most impacted by these closures, with around 15% of services closed between December 25 and 31.
Social and solidarity grocery stores are the most affected by winter closures (42%), followed by food parcel services and sit-down catering (26% of these services closed), then meal distribution (24%).
Thanks to solidarity players and Soliguide teams, 94.5% of Soliguide information was updated this winter !
New partnership with the Fédération des Banques Alimentaires
