AGORAE, Reims social and solidarity grocery store: https://intercampus.fr/agorae-reims

The City of Reims and its partners are committed to providing access to food aid for all students in need.

Two “AGORAé” social and solidarity grocery stores, which are managed by the INTERCampus federation, are located on the Croix-Rouge and Moulin de la Housse campuses.

Croix-Rouge AGORAé (Modular Building [BM] 1-8 URCA Croix-Rouge Campus) – 8 rue François Guyard

Moulin de la Housse AGORAé (CROUS Residence Teilhard de Chardin) – 9 rue des Crayères

These AGORAés aim to provide services to students and help create social links. They are made up of:

• A social space open to all: activities are organised there, and this space is used to inform students about their rights, to offer advice on daily life (nutrition, eco-responsible consumption, etc.), but especially to develop solidarity between students, recipients, civic services and associations.
• A solidarity grocery store that is accessible based on social criteria: students can find food products (fresh and dry), cleaning products and school supplies at reduced prices (between 10% and 30% cheaper than normal prices).

Students must now make an appointment to go to the AGORAé to do their shopping. A maximum of one appointment per person, per week is permitted. Accompanying persons are not allowed. To book an appointment, visit: https://federation-intercampus.reservio.com

Important information The AGORAé at the Moulin de la Housse campus is currently closed. All recipients are kindly asked to go to the AGORAé at the Croix-Rouge campus.
