Solidarity grocery and labor integration of migrant persons

Print

Posted: 2024-07-24 8:45pm

The Raval neighborhood in Barcelona has a high percentage of undocumented migrants, homeless people and high unemployment numbers. Marginalization has increased following the pandemic and the current inflation; their needs have amplified, in particular basic food.

The project responds the food needs in an holistic way, including elements of immigration formalities, employment, accommodation, and social ties. In the solidarity grocery (with a system of token), on a weekly base, users are free to buy the food they best liked (including toiletries and cleaning products). Their food shopping is also a time where they can share with the shop assistant (read it social worker) any other needs than food.  Emphasis is also put on the healthy use of the food available at the grocery (expiring date, different ways of cooking) when users are invited to cooking workshops.
