The Marché Bon Accueil is a grocery service as opposed to a food bank. Although the distribution consists mainly of food items, we also receive and distribute clothing, toiletries and many other items found within grocery aisles. The role of volunteers is to sort and prepare food or other items to be distributed at our markets. Tasks also include checking the quality of the food and sometimes dividing large quantities of food into individual portions.
