The Valencia Community Government has launched an unprecedented support program aimed at helping vulnerable families in the region. The Shopping Cart Bonus offers 90 euros as a prepaid card, active for four months, to households in the Community of Valencia with annual income below 21,000 euros. The card can be used at a wide range of establishments to purchase food products.

The goal of this aid is to ease the burden of inflation and ensure that basic food items remain accessible to thousands of residents in the Community of Valencia. Beneficiaries may use the Shopping Cart Voucher at a broad network of supermarkets, grocery chains, and department stores, including both local businesses and large retailers.

Participating companies such as Mercadona, Consum, El Corte Inglés, Lidl, Alcampo, Carrefour and others have pledged up to 1 million euros in donations to NGOs and charitable groups for food procurement. This supplementary effort highlights the commitment of these companies to reducing poverty and inequality within the Valencian Community.
The Shopping Cart works in harmony with the Bonus prepaid debit card, the Minimum Vital Income, the Valencia Participation Income, and the 200 euro state aid.
