OUR STORY

Where did the Social Food concept come from?

"When I was a child, around 5-6-7 years old, I often wondered why we are still born if we still have to die. Then, caught up with school, I forgot this question until my twenties, when it came back to me accompanied by many others, all related to humanity, humanity, humanity, the human condition and all the wonderful possibilities that are offered by this state of life in particular. I could say that all of (my) life is marked by the preoccupation with being human and the applications that derive from this."

WHAT WE DO

We help people
less lucky.

01

HOT MONTH

We prepare and cook hot food in our own kitchen or in collaboration with other kitchens, restaurants and canteens.

02

GET RESOURCES

We bring funding and raw materials to the canteens. We collect the ingredients needed to cook hot food.

03

AN EFFICIENT DELIVERY SYSTEM

We deliver hot food to beneficiaries through a well-developed delivery system as well as through distribution partners.

04

EVALUATE ACTIVITIES

We monitor the activities of the canteens we support and evaluate activities, flows, to assess impact and continuously improve processes.

05

TRAINING NEW CHEFS

We organize cook training courses for people in need, with the aim of giving them opportunities to learn trades to support themselves later.

06

WE RUN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

We campaign and run educational, awareness-raising and public awareness programs to reduce food waste.

07

DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS

We run and develop partnerships with other organizations and public institutions to expand and maximize the impact of Social Food projects.

08

SUPPORTING BENEFICIARIES

We support beneficiaries through social insertion programs (equivalent material aid in food, conversion programs, vocational counseling).

09

ESTABLISH LASTING PARTNERSHIPS

Our working model is mainly B2B2C: we partner with other associations, which have a different activity than we do, and we provide hot meals for their beneficiaries.

WHO BENEFITS

We restore hope through good, warm food.

When you get a good, warm meal from the heart, you get your dignity back. When you feel that you are part of a community, it gives you the courage to live for today, for tomorrow.

We support people who lack financial resources and social prospects, people who face serious difficulties in securing basic nutrition and lack the security of a hot meal, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, people in extreme poverty, people on social services, people who have difficulties integrating into society because of cultural differences or other barriers, children from disadvantaged backgrounds in day care centers, homeless people, people affected by emergencies, Ukrainian refugees.

How we do it

We use the common experience embedded in the organization as well as that of each individual member or volunteer. We develop humanitarian projects locally, regionally and work to scale them up nationally.

We collaborate with institutions and other non-governmental organizations locally and internationally to effectively identify the needs of vulnerable communities and help where the need is greatest. We rely fully - and proudly! - on a team of passionate, dedicated and tenacious volunteers to achieve our goals.

Chef Hădean continues to be involved and to coordinate all Social Food projects on a voluntary and pro-bono basis.
