FOOD AID

 

Food Bank

MPC opened the Food Bank in 2000 as the number of refugees increased throughout Russia. Each month, 160 United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) registered refugees come to the Food Pantry to receive a bag of grocery staples. This contribution helps alleviate the burden many refugees feel as they themselves struggle to sustain themselves in Russia.

 

Supplying 160 UNHCR refugees with food bags every month.

Economic and political circumstances in many African and Middle Eastern countries has forced waves of refugees and migrants to settle in Russia. Many come to Moscow in search of work but are systematically marginalized and have difficulty obtaining necessary paperwork for legal employment.

MPC Social Services would like to thank the following companies for generously sponsoring the MPC Food Bank:

Campbell's Soup provides ongoing donations

throughout the year

 

 

Auchan Supermarkets generously donated a one

month's supply of food in November 2009

 

Delicados provides weekly donations of tortillas included in the food bags

 
 
 

Because of MPC's support:

  • 160 UNHCR-registered refugees receive a monthly food bag filled with grocery staples
  • Clients are able to redistribute their income to other essential needs such as medicine and shelter
