Our actions against hunger and food waste

Collections and in-kind donations

Partage collects unsold goods daily in 90 supermarkets in the canton from the following brands:

Producers, importers, wholesalers and merchants from the canton of Geneva and French-speaking Switzerland are also making in-kind donations.

Where do the goods come from?

Sorting and storage

Every product that arrives at Partage is weighed and scanned. This allows Partage to know exactly the state of its stock.

The commodities collected are:

  1. Manually sorted and classified as “ready to be distributed” or “to be valorized” (for slightly wilted vegetables used for soup in the winter)
  2. Stored in a dry, cold room or freezer depending on the product.

The rules of hygiene and safety applied in our food hall are those of the Cantonal Service of Consumption and Veterinary Affairs (SCAV).

Packaging / Repackaging

Orders are prepared daily for institutions that place orders online.

Associations that cannot pick up their orders themselves can ask for deliveries.

Every day, more than 55 associations and social services benefit from the redistribution of unsold goods by Partage.
