We distribute food to homeless people in Iasi every evening from Monday to Friday. We make sure that they receive a hot meal (tea, soup) along with sandwiches, bread or eggs.
Whenever it is possible, we change the menu by bringing different kinds of soup made either by us, Emmaus, either by Cuib restaurant, our partner.
