Half Price on Food. This is the commitment of an initiative by the municipality of São Paulo, which will provide products much more accessible to low-income families living in the capital.

The announcement of this information took place on Wednesday (31) by the mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, during the inauguration of the Municipal Market of São Miguel Paulista, located in the Eastern Zone of the capital.

Solidarity Store

Called the Solidarity Store of the capital, the initiative is considered pioneering, as it will sell products at prices up to 50% lower than those practiced in general commerce. Some prices may even exceed this percentage.

According to information released by the press office of the São Paulo municipality, the initiative aims to benefit people in situations of social vulnerability who are currently registered in the CadÚnico.

Who Finances the Program

The Solidarity Store program, according to the municipal secretary of Human Rights and Citizenship, Soninha Francine, is financed by the Food Supply Fund of São Paulo (FAASP).

She mentioned that, for the adaptation of the space in the Municipal Market of São Miguel Paulista, an investment of nearly R$ 500 thousand was necessary, and the National Institute of Technology, Education, Culture, and Health (INTECS), responsible for managing the Store, will receive a monthly allocation of R$ 2.3 million.

The amount paid by the population for the products will be reverted to the FAASP. “The concept is that people can buy what they want and, more importantly, that they can choose, to have the dignity of choice”, she said, adding that “combating hunger for those who need it most, that is the concept of the store”.

Operation of the Site

The Municipal Market of São Miguel Paulista, located at Avenida Marechal Tito, 567, operates from 9 AM to 6 PM. The unit houses 75 vendors who sell fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, household goods, and other products.

Other Programs of the Municipality of São Paulo

In addition to the Solidarity Store, the Municipality of São Paulo maintains other programs aimed at low-income populations, such as the Food and Nutritional Security programs, School Kitchen Network, Citizen Kitchen Network, Solidarity City, Food Bank, and units of the Paulistano Good Plate.
