FOOD DISTRIBUTION TO THE HOMELESS AND REFUGEES IN PARIS

Serve the City Paris organizes food distribution for the homeless and the refugees throughout Paris every week of the year. Today, our Association delivers food to over 400+ homeless and refugees each week, and we also provide food for integration events, sports activities, and other philanthropic missions throughout Paris.

Today, we have active volunteers in the city of Paris every week of the year, who sign up to help with our food distribution program. Most of these volunteers are English speaking ex-patriots, immigrants, and French citizens who speak English.   (For most of the refugees in Paris, English is their first language).

At least 3 days of every week of the year, you will find a group of Serve the City Paris volunteers meeting in the morning at Parc Albert Schweitzer at 10 rue de l’Hôtel de Ville 75004  (Métro: Pont Marie or Saint Paul), before heading out across Paris to deliver food to refugees and the less fortunate.    The whole activity takes 2-3 hours maximum.

Volunteers go out in small groups  (5-6 in each group) to various areas around Paris (rue St. Honoré, Chatelet, Gare St Lazare, Opera, Gare de Lyon, Gare Austerlitz, St. Germain, Bastille, Nation or République).

There is no need for volunteers to bring food. We supply all the food each week (with the help of our donations and partners), for the marginalized in the streets of Paris.   Also, there is no long term commitment to volunteer.  Come when you want, and as often as you like.

REQUIREMENTS:
To become a Serve the City Paris Volunteer, please fill out a Volunteer Registration Form HERE

Once you fill out the form, there is a monthly €10 Euro donation required to participate in STCP volunteer activities.  This €10 euro donation is a tax deductible donation and it goes towards our expenses for our programs for the marginalized in Paris, and our volunteer activities at Serve The City Paris.

We also ask all our new volunteers to consider taking one of our ‘new volunteer training’ workshops.   The new volunteer workshops are usually offered 2x per month, in the evenings for 45 minutes.   They are always online using Zoom and usually very interactive where volunteers can ask questions about volunteering with Serve The City Paris.

You might also consider joining the STCP SAVE program, which offers volunteering on special projects, training and weekly workshops that offer a combination of theory and practice around social impact, to ensure more impactful and meaningful volunteer experiences for our volunteers.

There are many benefits of joining the SAVE program and there is no additional cost.  You can take an unlimited number of workshops each month, and participate in a wide variety of exclusive SAVE Member volunteer activities and events.  SAVE members also receive a certificate of benevolence for school, work or job search requirements. SAVE members also collaborate with fellow SAVE members to social impact projects.
