“We realize that there is a lot more precariousness lately,” notes Maïté Convert, volunteer at the Restos du Coeur in Tarnos. The association has decided to open its premises all year round, usually closed between April and October, in order toensure food distributions for the beneficiariesmore and more numerous.
Open once a week
“We have seen a 10 to 15% increase in beneficiaries in recent years. There was the Covid effect, with these people who no longer had a job, and now the overall cost of living which has increased enormously. “, continues Maïté Convert. The volunteer says she sees more and more retirees and single-parent families who can’t get out.
The Restos du Coeur de Tarnos will therefore maintain their food distributions all year. From April 8, they will be once a week on Friday. For any information: 05 59 64 86 26.
