The Incontro association has been doing valuable work for people in need in Zurich's Langstrasse district for years. Every evening, up to 400 meals are distributed, and the need continues to grow.
The association is active 365 days a year and relies on the support of volunteers. This is where you come in: get involved as a team of two! Together with a colleague, you can help directly on-site. Your commitment not only brings hope and warmth to those in need but also enriches you through valuable encounters and experiences.
Your help makes a difference. Join this important work and give a little hope and support to those who need it most.
