Social stores in Poland
From this short video, you will learn what a social store is, who visits stores, and how you buy products there. The first social store run by the Food Bank was established in Poland in 2017 in the Tri-City. The store serves several purposes: it allows for more sustainable food aid, empowers people who visit the store, and helps reduce food waste. At the film’s end, we provide some tips for organizations running or planning to set up a community store, what else is worth knowing before opening one, and what other initiatives can be combined with running a store.
The social impact of food support
The Social Canteen is a social response, part of the Solidarity Network of Social Canteens (Rede Solidária das Cantinas Sociais), within the scope of the Emergency Food Programme (Programa de Emergência Alimentar).
