Carrefour and Contact Partner with SNSM for Third Year to Support Sea Rescue in Guadeloupe

DESTRELAND, GUADELOUPE – Carrefour Destreland and Contact stores are launching their third annual campaign to support the SNSM (Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer), the national sea rescue society, in Guadeloupe. Shoppers can contribute to life-saving missions by purchasing a specially designed reusable shopping bag. A portion of the proceeds from each bag sold will be donated directly to the SNSM.

This year’s initiative builds on the success of previous campaigns. Between 2023 and 2024, over 75,000 bags were sold, raising €5,185 for the organization. Carrefour and Contact, part of the GBH group, are hoping to surpass that amount in 2025, providing critical support to the SNSM’s volunteer rescuers.

The SNSM plays a vital role in ensuring safety along the Guadeloupean coast, relying on donations and private partnerships for 72% of its funding. The organization consists of approximately 50 volunteers locally who are dedicated to saving lives.

“This initiative is a fantastic way for the community to directly support the vital work of the SNSM,” said a representative for Carrefour. “By purchasing a shopping bag, you’re not only getting a useful item but also contributing to the safety and security of maritime activities in Guadeloupe.”

The public is encouraged to participate and support the SNSM’s mission to protect lives at sea. The shopping bags are available now at participating Carrefour Destreland and Contact locations.
