Volunteering in Santiago de Compostela homeless soup kitchen

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Hi, does anybody know is there is a homeless shelter at the city and if one can volunteer for a few hours or make donation? Thank you.

Blessing


Yes Caritas has.

And I believe a religious order also has a kind of soupkitchen ( apart from the Caritas group ) but will have to do more research.

I think it is a brilliant idea!!

Also the Franciscans https://franciscanossantiago.org/ collect regularly goodies and host the homeless in a corner of their monastery.

Buen Camino y Muchas Gracias in the name of those that have less than we have have, SY

PS Very occasionally somebody knocks at my door, asking for food, and I share what I have in the house. But that is just a drop on the hot stone as they say in my country ...
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
