GPA and the community

“Vaincre la Mucoviscidose” is an association created in 1965, which accompanies cystic fibrosis patients and their families in every aspect of their life shaken by illness. The association is organized around 4 primary missions: healing, caring, living better, informing and raising awareness.

Created in 2005, the Ardouvin Foundation runs the children’s village of Vercheny, a village 50 km from Valence in the Drôme valley. It receives 67 children entrusted by social services of the Social Welfare for Children or by the judges of the children as part of an educational assistance measure. These young people are hosted in single houses held by couples, who have made the choice to live with them on the spot and to support them on a daily basis and whose objective is to provide them with benchmarks and a reassuring and structuring living environment.

“Les restaurants du Coeur” were created by Coluche in 1985.

We support the branch of Livron-sur-Drôme and offer all the beneficiaries of Restos du coeura discount on their purchases in store.
