food aid

Food aid is an important part of social welfare work 

Article

In Central Uusimaa, cooperation on food aid has been developed since 2024 between municipalities, the welfare region, organisations and parishes, coordinated by the municipality of Tuusula. Food distribution serves as material assistance and provides relief from financial hardship. Furthermore, food distribution points act as community meeting places that alleviate loneliness and offer peer support.
