What Revivre dans le Monde does

ReVIVRE dans le Monde is a French non-profit humanitarian federation founded in 1993 (federating entity established 1998) that operates logistics platforms for charitable food aid. The federation comprises three complementary associations: the federating entity ReVIVRE dans le Monde (which handles innovation projects, advocacy, and national coordination), ReVIVRE Ile-de-France (headquartered in Morangis, an insertion enterprise serving ~220 partner associations including 90 social grocery stores), and ReVIVRE Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (headquartered in Décines-Charpieu, serving social food aid structures across southern and eastern France). ReVIVRE collects donated and surplus food, hygiene, and cleaning products from companies and distributes them to partner charitable organizations at negotiated prices with logistics and management fees, via an Odoo-based e-commerce catalog offering approximately 250 products.

The organization runs multiple specialized programs beyond core food distribution: Tournées Villages (mobile food distribution in Essonne supported by Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso), AlimHôtel (food aid delivery to 8 hotels housing vulnerable populations, co-developed with ANSA), Alim'tout-petits (food aid for children 0-3 years), PrévAlim/Essaimage PrévAlim (nutrition education with INCa, AgroParisTech, Centre Hospitalier Manhès), Mieux Manger pour Tous, and Optilog (France Relance-funded shared degroupage warehouses in Clermont-Ferrand, Mulhouse, and Rion-des-Landes). ReVIVRE holds national food aid habilitation from DGCS, renewed in 2020 for 10 years.

The business model combines four revenue streams: (1) transaction-based product sales to partner associations (primary), (2) corporate product donations that the organization valorizes and re-distributes, (3) corporate sponsorship and skills-based volunteering (mécénat) that provides tax-deductible funding, and (4) public funding and government grants including national habilitation flows and project-specific funding. ReVIVRE Ile-de-France generated €1,750,000 in 2021 revenue. The organization serves 20,000 families (approximately 67,000 individuals) per region and distributes over 1,200 tonnes of goods annually per region. Leadership includes President Alain Jézéquel (federation), Francis Duplay (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), and Franck Roblin (Ile-de-France).

Revenue model

1. Product sales to charitable structures: ReVIVRE collects donated food and hygiene products from companies and sells them at modulated, tightly negotiated prices to social grocery stores and charitable associations. Prices are marked up with a quote-part plus logistics and management fees. This is the primary operational revenue stream.
2. Corporate product donations: Companies donate unsold food products, hygiene items, and cleaning products to ReVIVRE, which are then distributed to partner structures. Companies benefit from tax deductions for these donations.
3. Corporate sponsorship/mécénat: Companies provide financial support or skilled volunteering (pro bono expertise in areas like IT, hygiene and safety, nutrition, cartography) to ReVIVRE associations. In return, they receive tax deductions as it qualifies as general interest spending.
4. Public funding and habilitation: ReVIVRE dans le Monde is habilitated at national level to receive public contributions for food aid implementation. The federation also coordinates applications for and distribution of government grants to affiliated associations. Programs like France Relance (Optilog project) provide specific project funding.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves11 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Emmaüs France: National federation of Emmaüs organizations combining food aid, social insertion, and second-hand goods redistribution. Shares ReVIVRE's dual humanitarian-and-insertion mission model with similar insertion employment outcomes and food security objectives.
• Secours Populaire Français: Major French humanitarian association operating food aid programs alongside broader social support (clothing, housing, cultural access). Comparable as a large multi-program food aid competitor for public funding and corporate partnerships.
• Croix-Rouge Française: French Red Cross operates extensive food aid and social grocery programs nationally. ReVIVRE has provided PrévAlim training to Croix-Rouge volunteers, making them both a partner and an incumbent competitor with much greater scale and brand recognition.
• Restos du Coeur: France's largest food aid NGO founded in 1985, distributing meals and groceries to millions of beneficiaries annually. While much broader in scope (own distribution centers, clothing, housing support), Restos du Coeur competes for the same donor, government, and volunteer resources as ReVIVRE.
• Fondation Abbé Pierre: Major French foundation addressing housing poverty and food insecurity through advocacy and direct programs. Competes for foundation and public funding in the broader anti-poverty space where ReVIVRE operates, though focused more on housing than food logistics.

Direct peers

• Fédération Française des Banques Alimentaires: National federation of 79 French food banks that collect, process, and distribute food donations to charitable organizations serving food-insecure populations. Directly comparable to ReVIVRE as a wholesale food distribution platform for the social aid ecosystem, but operates at significantly larger national scale with established EU and government partnerships.
• Secours Catholique: French Catholic charity operating food aid, shelter support, and social grocery programs for vulnerable populations. Comparable as a regional food aid operator with similar beneficiary profiles and reliance on volunteer networks and public funding.
• Réseau ANDES: National network of solidarity grocery stores (épiceries solidaires) that ReVIVRE actually partners with for Guyane deployment and PrévAlim training. ANDES operates at the retail end of the food aid value chain that ReVIVRE supplies, making it a complementary peer serving similar beneficiary populations.
• ANSA (Agence Nouvelle de Solidarité Active): French agency co-developing the AlimHôtel program with ReVIVRE since 2016. Operates in the same active solidarity policy space targeting innovative food aid solutions for state-housed populations and vulnerable groups.

Regional players

• ATD Quart Monde: International movement founded in France addressing extreme poverty through integrated social programs including food access. Comparable as a French-rooted NGO focused on the most disadvantaged populations with innovative program approaches, though with broader advocacy focus than ReVIVRE's logistics model.
