CCRA
social grocery store
TAIWAN –
Since 1998, the Chinese Christian Relief
Association (CCRA) has offered those in dire need
access to a quality diet in Taiwan. Since then,
410 food parcel distribution centres have been cre-
ated, covering 22 of the country’s cities. In 2015,
the Carrefour Foundation co-funded the opening of
Taiwan’s first social grocery store, with a contribu-
tion of €60,000. This 73 sq. m. store in Luchou, in
the north of the country, is open three days a week.
It allows 80 families each month to have access to
a basic diet as well as providing social assistance.
Thematic workshops, based on personal develop-
ment, CV-writing, debt management, or waste-free
cooking for example, complement this springboard
out of exclusion. Carrefour Taiwan also supported
this initiative by equipping the store and encourag-
ing the participation of 80 employee volunteers. By
sharing their skills with other volunteers, Carrefour
employees help to optimise stocks and ensure that
health and safety regulations are respected.
