Government considers including community kitchens in programs to combat hunger.
The idea is for the Ministry of Social Development and Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger to register community kitchens throughout the country based on a public notice.
247 - The federal government should include community kitchen programs in its anti-hunger programs. The goal is to add this action to the initiatives already practiced in the country to remove Brazil from the Hunger Map, a tool of the United Nations (UN) that measures adequate access to food.
The project is by federal deputy Guilherme Boulos (Psol-SP), which should be presented to the Chamber this Thursday (9).
The goal of the public policy is to provide free lunches to people who are going hungry. The idea is for the Ministry of Social Development, Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger to register community kitchens throughout the country based on a public notice.
The Minister of Health, Wellington Dias, visited the community kitchen in Ceilândia (DF) this Thursday, which provides food to residents of the Sol Nascente community. The kitchen is part of a network of kitchens managed by the Homeless Workers' Movement (MTST).
"In addition to Bolsa Família, the Cozinha Solidária/Restaurantes Popular program is part of this plan, adding to the Full-Time School Program, which, besides education, includes lunch and the School Meal Program," the minister emphasized.
The expectation is that the kitchens will be able to receive public funds for the purchase of food and the payment of staff. “The purchase will be made by the entity, following the parameters of the Food Acquisition Program of the federal government. It is not yet defined how much will be allocated to the program, which will depend on the budgetary availability of the federal government,” highlights a report from [source name]. newspaper Folha de S.Paulo.
