Caritas-Markt Oerlikon

The Caritas-Markt Oerlikon is an initiative of Caritas aimed at people on a limited budget. The goal is to offer these people an opportunity to purchase high-quality everyday products at affordable prices. In Oerlikon, customers find a broad selection of groceries such as rice, pasta, fruit, and vegetables, but also hygiene products and other important everyday items. The Caritas-Markt works closely with various suppliers and foundations to ensure that the products on offer are both high in quality and low in cost.

In addition to shopping for groceries and everyday goods, the Caritas-Markt has a social component. It functions as a place of encounter where people from different social backgrounds can come together. The concept promotes integration and community engagement. Families and individuals who hold a KulturLegi or a Caritas-Markt card have the opportunity to benefit from the reduced prices. These cards are easy to apply for and provide access to many other Caritas offerings.

The prices at the Caritas-Markt are up to 70% lower than in regular stores. This makes the market an attractive option for people in financial hardship. In addition, value is placed on a pleasant shopping experience; the markets are designed to offer local products in an inviting atmosphere. The offerings mainly consist of groceries, household goods, and hygiene products. Special offers and promotions are also offered on an ongoing basis, making shopping even more exciting.

At the Caritas-Markt Oerlikon, everyone who receives social assistance, receives supplementary benefits, or whose income is verifiably below the subsistence minimum can shop. The Caritas-Markt thus serves as a support offering in difficult life situations and contributes to strengthening social cohesion in the community.
