We offer companies and public offices the chance to gain a direct insight into hardship and poverty by joining in themselves.
Volunteers packing the Tuesday bags in long rows.
Who it is for
Individuals, teams or whole companies can simply help out for a day and thereby do a day of social work. A taster day provides real experience of practical social work.
What you do
Sorting food, packing bags, carrying crates.
Welcoming people – with dignity and friendliness.
Translating, if you speak one of the languages we need.
Helping with intake on Monday or with the distribution on Tuesday.
When
Intake Mondays 08.30 – 16.30, distribution Tuesdays 11.00 – 16.45. Please arrange dates in advance so we can put you to good use.
What you take away
Poverty in Switzerland is mostly invisible. Anyone who has spent a Tuesday at Birsstrasse sees it – and the people behind it. In our experience that changes more than any presentation.
Arrange a day
Write to us with how many of you there are and when you would like to come.
