    Over het programma

    Overview
    The soup kitchen is only three stations away from the guest house. It is in a dynamic and exciting district with lots of specialized markets always full of life.

    The local team is a non-profit organization called “Dail Community” that contributes and gives back to society in various different ways, one of which is the soup kitchen they are running.

    As a volunteer in the Soup Kitchen program, you will be part of this initiative to combat hunger and provide free meals to those in need. The soup kitchen typically feeds 800 to 1,000 people every day, and volunteers will have various responsibilities, such as preparing ingredients (chopping & washing food, etc), cooking, serving meals, packing take-out trays, washing dishes, cleaning tables, and the kitchen.

    Regardless of the task, the experience of helping to feed hundreds and thousands of people is a truly rewarding experience, which makes a huge difference to peoples lives.
