A warm meal in Nova Zagora Municipality

The current project aims to reduce the number of people living in poverty by helping them with food in order to overcome basic material deprivation by providing a free hot lunch for needy people, including children, and supporting their social inclusion. Hot lunches will be distributed at the point of the Directorate of Social Assistance in the city of Nova Zagora, as well as in some of the populated areas of the municipality or, if necessary, at the homes of consumers, observing all anti-epidemic measures. 190 persons will be covered who, due to poverty and long-term social isolation, are in difficulty to provide for themselves or with the help of their relatives to provide for themselves. The persons will be determined in cooperation with the "Social Assistance" Directorate. The preparation of a hot lunch will be carried out by a selected contractor and will be transported in specialized vehicles to each point in the municipality or to the homes of the consumers. The distribution of the food takes place at a certain time and will be certified with the Diary of the final recipient / Appendix 2/. In addition to the distribution of food, accompanying measures will be offered with the aim of reducing social exclusion and/or dealing with extraordinary social situations in an emancipating and sustainable way, which are expressed in individual counseling and assistance in using social and/or administrative services, for supporting access to health and educational services, for managing the family budget, for healthy and balanced nutrition, as well as for individual counseling in response to identified specific needs and problems of users.
