This mission required the volunteers from “Mission Siret” to use some very unusual skills. This time it was not about distributing water filters, passing on diapers or stacking cans of food. Instead, the volunteers focused on potatoes, onions and carrots in the soup kitchen in Chernivtsi - they helped to cook potato soup for internally displaced persons during their service on site.
Just two days after the start of the war, a former school kitchen was turned into a social kitchen, where 550 internally displaced persons living in the city have been receiving a hot meal every day ever since. The meals are prepared the day before and then freshly cooked. The soup kitchen is financed by donations and also receives donations in kind from “Mission Siret”.
