Food For Life Venezuela is running a weekly programme where food is distributed every Tuesday at Caracas Markets. Most frequently the distribution takes place at Plaza Candelaria, the most popular area of the city.
Food for Life team is ready to assist in the distribution of food and medicines to those who need help, including Slovenians in Venezuela. However, to reach more people and increase the scope of help, they need extra equipment and ingredients for meals.
