Serve the City Paris: Charity food distribution and socialise!

Join us on every Friday mornings to distribute surplus Pret a Manger food to people in need on the streets of Paris, starting at 9am. Not only will you be doing social good but you can meet new people from all around the world!

At around 9:20am, we deliver the sandwiches, salads and pastries to the people across Paris.

Volunteers go out in groups of two (or alone) to various areas around the center of Paris (rue St. Honoré, Chatelet, Gare St Lazare, Opera, Porte de la Chappele, Gare de Lyon, Austerlitz, Republique, St. Germain, Bastille, Nation). Or, just take the food to the neighbourhood where you live.

• Bring a cooler bag or backpack
• If you jog, or have a bike (or a Velib card), it makes delivery a bit easier. Otherwise everyone walks through the quartiers of Paris with their sandwiches and salads for the homeless.
  -If you are more then 20 minutes late (after 9:20am) to the cafe, the group may have left to deliver sandwiches.

***PLEASE BE MINDFUL... of the fact that all our donated food is surplus from 'Pret a Manger' and therefore we are never sure on the quantity of food we will receive before the actual morning of distribution. We apologise in advance if there is limited or NO food available to deliver, it is the nature of the beast #Zerowaste ***

Things to think about when volunteering for Serve The City Paris

To respect the individual, you are handing the food to and their choices whether to accept or not accept the food.

Not to go in groups bigger than three.

No Photos of the people in need without any consent.

The food has to be hand out before 2pm the same day!

The Caféothèque of Paris is located at 52 rue de l'Hôtel de ville, Paris (Metro Line 7..Pont Marie or Line 10...St. Paul).
