The learnings and changes made from the previous year have strongly reflected in the successes in 2023! To get an overview of the season, you can consult the results here.

Carte Proximité’s successful first year allowed us to grow enormously in our second year. The second year was rich in new partnerships, a larger number of people reached, and, of course, new challenges.

With this pilot project, the Carrefour solidaire CCA tested and documented the subsidized purchase of local food through a food stamps approach with the Carte Proximité card.
This project took off as the pandemic was taking hold in Quebec, exacerbating the already existing issues of food insecurity. In this context of increased needs and reduced community resources, the project was initiated and implemented.
