What we do

Food assistance, homework help, languages, music, and counseling: discover the services and how to participate.

Support the work How to participate

Five services, three areas

The services are grouped by area: food support, education, and counseling. They take place at our main office on Via San Francesco 1 and at the Dream Center, our warehouse.

Anyone participating in a service can also ask for information about the others.

01 Economic poverty

Food on the table

For families who cannot afford groceries, practical help, prepared each time by volunteers.

Food aid and the Dream Center

We are an partner organization of the Banco delle Opere di Carità, the charity food bank in Brindisi. We pick up food on our assigned day, collect items donated across the city, and bring them to the Dream Center, our warehouse.

There, volunteers sort them and prepare packages, which are distributed to families supported by the association.

02 Educational poverty
