Partage, the food bank of the canton of Geneva
Our history
Partage was created in 2005 by 5 founding members: the Salvation Army, C.A.R.E., Caritas Geneva, les Colis du Cœur and Emmaüs.
It is the only food bank in the canton of Geneva.
Partage became a foundation in 2016 in order to ensure sustainable funding and pursue its long lasting mission on food poverty.
