Since May 2003 distribution centres for needy individuals and families were set up in collaboration with Resident Committees. During a certain time period (7.30-9 pm) all registered families within the block are invited to collect their share of bread and other non-perishable food items. The RCs perform the evaluation of the family situation and are responsible for updating their database, which is shared as confidential information with us.

The centres are staffed with 1 or 2 coordinators from the RC itself and about 2 to 4 of our volunteers, who do the hand out or the door delivery (for those handicapped or too fragile to walk down). FFTH ensures the sufficient food supply, but the volunteer team works quite independently under a team leader. The teams have been very stable since the start.
