Following the request to the Fédération des Moissons, the team of interns created a project aimed at supporting the action of groups working in the area of food aid and concerned with introducing alternative food aid practices. The team also closely observed what it termed "microsolidarity experiences." It was noted that certain community food aid groups constituted sites where the underprivileged could find a kind of social network, take part in various activities, and obtain or exchange basic services. However, these groups remain marginal among the hundreds of groups offering food aid in Quebec. This article provides an account of the thinking of the Fédération des Moissons, the context of food aid in Quebec, and the experiences of groups that have adopted alternative practices which are at the same time microsolidarity experiences. This profile of the situation leads us to wonder whether these groups constitute a social movement.
