Summary
You are the first point of contact for aid applicants from our region who contact the Red Cross for food aid.
Detailed description
The Red Cross helps people who just miss out on other initiatives and still have trouble putting a healthy meal on the table every day, with grocery cards. Unfortunately, there is a large group of people who do not have access to regular help.
We work together with local partners to distribute grocery cards. These local partners include foundations, social organizations and community centers. These are aid organizations that have their antennae in the neighborhood/region and are in close contact with people in need of food.
What are you going to do?
