Solidarity market every Wednesday from July 31 to September 25, 2024, between 10AM and 4PM

The solidarity market is Epicentre's oldest service, having operated under the aegis of other organizations and committees for almost a decade. This outdoor market is open to everyone, and inevitably attracts a very diverse clientele. L'Épicentre began managing this market in autumn 2020. This seasonal service (summer and fall) aims to improve access to fresh fruit and vegetables in the area, due to its proximity and exceptionally low prices.  Thanks to our collaboration with Mutuelle d'Approvisionnement des Marchés Solidaires (MAMS), we are able to offer local vegetables.  In this way, this project also contributes to the creation of short production and consumption circuits built on respect for the environment, an essential element in the ecological transition that is needed.  By reserving a basket of fruit and vegetables during our mini-markets, part of the proceeds will be reinvested in the mission of Épicentre Saint-Henri.

Come and meet us in front of Saint-Zotique Church, 4561 Notre-Dame Street West, every Wednesday from July 31 to September 25, between 10AM to 4PM
