About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Food for Life APS is a social promotion association with several locations in Italy, including Savona, for humanitarian purposes, with the aim of fostering personal growth through the sharing of food. Food for Life works to combat economic and social hardship and poverty, both materially and spiritually. The association runs various meal distribution programs for the homeless and families in need. Its contribution to food aid aims to provide added value by raising awareness of the importance of the connection between nutrition, physical and mental well-being, and environmental protection.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
