La Porte Verte

La Porte Verte pursues a global and multi-faceted action to combat poverty and social exclusion through 6 varied services: a social service, a social restaurant, a homework school, a literacy centre, a food aid centre and a nursery. Thanks to these services, La Porte Verte can meet diverse and complementary objectives such as basic social assistance, food aid, education, training, guidance, prevention, early childhood care, etc.

La Porte Verte has decided to work for a more egalitarian world and promotes the integration and emancipation of disadvantaged populations. On the one hand, La Porte Verte helps the poorest to have enough to eat. Indeed, they have a social restaurant open all year round, which offers hot dishes at a lower price in a family and warm setting. In addition, there is the food aid centre, Snijboontje-bis, which distributes food parcels to people in need every week. Whether in the restaurant or at the help centre, the beneficiaries are always in contact with social workers who help them with their daily procedures.

On the other hand, education and training are an integral part of the association's missions. That's why they decided to create a literacy center, a homework school, and a nursery for children from 0 to 3 years old. In total, La Porte Verte helps more than 5000 beneficiaries each year in the town and the surrounding area thanks to their services. The association is well established and is recognized locally and regionally.

The little + :  La Porte Verte has started its green shift ! Respect for the environment is now a major concern for the various departments of the association. For example, they try to actively participate in the fight against food waste by recovering some unsold food. These can then be redistributed to those in need.

By putting social work at the centre of its actions every day, La Porte Verte works for a world where social inequalities have no place. That's why we're proud to support them.
