Challenge
17 million people in France (i.e. 25% of the population) declare they are too poor to be able to feed themselves properly(baromètre pauvreté IPSOS-Secours Populaire français 2021), even though food waste itself represents 10 million tons of produce a year.
Faced with this observation, several solutions are emerging, notably those enabling shops to sell their products in the form of baskets at reduced prices. HopHopFood has developed a formula that is even more supportive and advantageous for retailers: the donation of unsold products to people in low-income households.
Solution
The HopHopFood App enables solidarity stores to make their unsold products available to people in a state of food insecurity. These people use an access code to reserve products, then go directly to the stores to collect these free baskets. Beneficiaries are self-sufficient, and products usually banned from food aid collections (meat, fish, etc.) can finally be saved from wastage and given to people in need.
The retailer, for his part, values his donations at 60% of their ex-VAT value, thanks to the in-kind donation certificate provided by HopHopFood.

HopHopFood teams in LyonHopHopFood 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.
