Question 8593 — poverty

Summary

Mrs. Julie Laernoes draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the situation of food banks. In Loire-Atlantique, the reduction of 300,000 euros in state aid seriously compromises the ability of the Loire-Atlantique food bank to continue its mission to combat food insecurity. In 2021, 2,200 tonnes of food were distributed by the bank food of Loire-Atlantique, supporting more than 17,000 people. In 2024, while the number of beneficiaries jumped to over 32,000, the resources distributed fell to 2,000 tonnes. Thus constrained, the quantities distributed had to be reduced by half, representing several hundred thousand fewer meals across the department. The 132 associations of the Loire-Atlantique network note an increase continued requests. This alarming situation takes place in a context where inflation continues to weaken the most vulnerable: nearly 33% of beneficiaries in Loire-Atlantique identify the rise in prices as the main cause of their recourse to food aid. Also, she asks him what the Government intends to put in place, both to remedy the increase in poverty in the country but also to address helping food banks doing essential work on the ground.
