MENSA DIFFUSA
food safety and poverty
Food security is only one of the aspects and features addressed by the project: it is a starting point discovering that combating poverty and allowing access to food to all is not simply a matter of distributing meals to people in need. It’s a process of engagement of the whole community centred on the development of true relations, contacts among people. Food becomes the mean, the occasion around which life evolves allowing social empowerment. This is the asset which has been investigated in the Mensa diffusa project.
We are delighted that the IF Social Impact Prize 2021 has awarded € 3,000 to Compagnia del SS. Sacramento-Caritas Reggiana-Missioni Diocesane. The funds will be used to design and implement a "Wall of Donors" to recognize all institutions who have supported and continue to support the "Mense Diffuse Caritas" (Caritas Neighborhood Soup Kitchens). Acknowledging the donors publicly, we hope to make our relationship with them more stable and therefore make our project more sustainable over time.
