Dear Serve the City Geneva volunteers,

Christmas is on us and we have a couple of new options for the season and New Year.

The next new event is on Saturday, 24 December. Yes, on the eve of Christmas the Carrefour Rue soup kitchen behind the main train station (Jardin de Montbrillant) is looking for 8 volunteers to help prepare and serve 150 or so lunches.

The next date that help is required will be Wednesday, 28 December at the same place 9am to 1pm, helping prepare and serve lunches. Finally, they will be serving an evening meal on New Year’s Eve, Saturday, 31 December. To help out with any of these meals, please sign up on the Get Involved (new) page.

Carrefour Rue are also looking for volunteers to help them at La Coulou shelter on Christmas eve – please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 022 734 67 60 for more information.

Then to finish off the soup kitchen projects, we need 2 more helpers for the “every other Wednesday” team, starting 11 January 2017 until the end of February. But if you would like to be a standby or start a new Wednesday Team from 18 Jan, you can express you interest by signing up on the website on the Get Involved (new) page.

Our Partage sorting signups are going well but 3 dates still have a few openings if you would like help sort non-perishable food for the hungry of Geneva. It’s a weekday project in the Partage warehouse in Carouge (one Friday and three Thursdays) from 8am to 12 noon. It is a really nice project to help those less fortunate to ensure they get food on the table. Please sign up through the website.
