Caritas-Markt Winterthur

The Caritas-Markt Winterthur is an important point of contact for people on a tight budget who wish to purchase high-quality everyday products at extremely low prices. The assortment comprises more than 1,000 items, including staple foods such as sugar, flour, oil, pasta, freshly ripened fruit and vegetables, as well as various hygiene products. Thanks to the generous support of suppliers and foundations, many of these products can be offered up to 70% cheaper than in regular supermarkets, enabling customers to eat healthily and in a balanced way without exceeding their budget.

Holders of a KulturLegi or Caritas-Markt card have the opportunity to shop at more than 20 locations in Switzerland, including Winterthur. The markets see themselves not only as points of sale but also as places of encounter. Here people come together to exchange ideas and support one another.

The concept of the Caritas-Markt contributes to integration by employing volunteers and people from work integration programs. In this way, the Caritas-Markt creates added value not only for customers but also for society as a whole. The shopping experience is deliberately designed to be pleasant, making the visit a positive one. The market team answers questions, sorts the goods, and ensures an appealing atmosphere.

The Caritas-Markt is an important building block in the fight against poverty in Switzerland. It offers not only products at low prices but also a valuable social platform for people from various walks of life. The commitment of the volunteers and staff makes it possible to maintain a sustainable supply while at the same time strengthening the community. For many, the Caritas-Markt is more than just a place to shop; it is a place of hope and support for a dignified life.
