On the street and without food resources, the homeless are on the front line facing the coronavirus epidemic. The Samu social de Paris, to help them, decided to launch a call for donations of restaurant tickets.

What if you gave your restaurant tickets to the homeless? This question is asked by the Samu social de Paris, which calls for donations of restaurant tickets. Their observation is simple: in this period of confinement due to the spread of the coronavirus, food vouchers are not used by individuals and companies, so why not give them to the poor.

URGENT ! The health crisis weakens access to food resources for people who are homeless or precarious. We collect your donations of lunch vouchers & restaurant tickets. @ BNPParibas initiates the movement by offering us 20,000 tickets.

We are counting on you ! # covid19pic.twitter.com / hOiWgDSz7y

On the one hand, restaurant tickets are not or rarely used. On the other hand, the homeless, for the most part, make a living from the Channel. However, confinement requires, they can no longer reach out to passers-by ... Finally, the distribution of food resources has been drastically reduced, a consequence also of confinement.
