Nativitas

NATIVITAS is a local soup kitchen located in downtown Brussels. The cold winter months are long and hard for the homeless and those in a situation of extreme poverty. Giving them access to a hot healthy meal in a welcoming atmosphere is a good start toward a better life, nourishing both body and soul! Together we can make such a difference!

These items will be used in the restaurant, distributed to low-income families to take home and also used to prepare food for the homeless

We will be collecting the following items beginning in November and ending on Sunday December 8.

• Sugar cubes
• Olive oil
• Ground coffee
• Canned tomatoes (whole, diced, passata, etc.)
• Canned sardines
• Shampoo, shower gel, soap (for the homeless who come to take showers)

You may also make a financial donation, either by using the mission envelopes on Sunday or by making a bank transfer from now until December 31.

This money will be used to purchase much-needed fresh food for Nativitas, which will also be prepared and served on site. Five days a week, the menu consists of soup, bread, a main course, and a dessert, plus a hot or cold beverage (alcohol-free), for 2 €. Sandwiches and any food that is not served at the restaurant at lunchtime are distributed to the homeless at 2pm for free.

Nativitas is a non-profit organization that functions solely on donations.

We hope you will give generously. Every little bit counts, and all together we can make such a difference. Our goal for 2024 is to collect 1000 € and a carload of food! The Bible says that God loves a cheerful giver. Not only are we giving food, but we’re also sharing God’s love with those in need. If you wish to be eligible for a tax exemption (donations of 40 € or more) please contact Nancy Evans. Thank you for your generosity!
