Caritas supports the soup kitchen by taking on, among other things, the expenses for the daily supply of bread and for the purchase of the so-called furnishings, i.e. plates, glasses, napkins, cutlery and, above all, plastic trays. aluminum in which food is provided daily to over 200 people in conditions of absolute poverty.
The initiative provides that anyone who wishes, including magistrates, lawyers, administrative staff and members of the police force, can also purchase a limited quantity of furnishings and deposit it in a dedicated area, called “place of solidarity”, located on the ground floor of the Court of Brindisi.
The amount collected will be given to the Caritas bursar on a weekly basis.
