Association Amitié Partage Roubaix

What Association Amitié Partage Roubaix does

Association Amitié Partage Roubaix is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded on October 11, 1985 by Marcel LECLUSE and headquartered at 93 Boulevard Gambetta, Roubaix. Its mission is to combat poverty and social exclusion through emergency material aid and pathways to social and professional insertion. Core operations include weekly food distribution (6+ tonnes to approximately 12,000 people per year, equivalent to roughly 45,000 meals), clothing and essential goods distribution via the Solidarity Boutique and seasonal campaigns (including 2,000 Christmas gifts for children annually), RSA (Revenu de Solidarité Active) accompaniment for beneficiaries, and a literacy program. The organization serves more than 1,700 families per year and, as of October 2025, approximately 2,000 students through a newly launched food aid program.

Operational capacity is delivered through four insertion workshops — Logistics, Sewing (Fil et Maille), Vente (retail), and Web — which provide vocational training to insertion workers and recycle proceeds back into the social mission. The organization operates a hybrid retail model: a physical Solidarity Boutique in Roubaix supplemented by online sales channels (Label Emmaüs, Vinted, Etsy, Selency, Le Bon Coin) and periodic pop-up activations at McArthur Glen (2021 and 2022). The workforce comprises 9 permanent staff, 27 insertion workers, 3 mediators, and more than 100 volunteers (approximately 140 contributors in total). Leadership consists of President David SEGARD and Director Léna FRANCOIS.

The business model is a hybrid non-commercial structure. There is no market-priced product; revenue (or, more precisely, operating budget) is derived from French and European public grants, departmental and municipal subsidies, individual donations, partnership contributions from institutional supporters (Jacadi, Rotary Club Roubaix, McArthur Glen, Musée La Piscine, GRDR, La Clé), and modest proceeds from the sale of donated goods through the boutique and online channels. Beneficiary referrals flow via the GTMs (Globales Territoriales de la Métropole) and partner social services. Pricing on insertion and retail activities is socially oriented — typically below market — and the operation is subsidy-dependent rather than self-financing.
