How does the association work?

Taking care to keep the cold chain intact (using a refrigerated lorry), a team of volunteers collects food from your premises.

For Chaînon Manquant, acting fast means wasting less. Using a just-in-time approach, food collected is redistributed to other local associations via short supply chains. This system enables waste reduction, even for fresh, fragile food with very short use-by dates.

Why give to Chaînon Manquant ?

The association helps reuse unsold food by giving it to charity organisations, which in turn redistribute it to underprivileged members of society.

For you, this offers a chance to contribute to a solidarity initiative and give a second life to your food, which is redistributed to thirty or so beneficiary associations.

Positive actions create positive news! Being involved in a responsible initiative is rewarding for both you and your customers.

In Lyon, the association organises collection rounds throughout the week with its own lorry.
