A social patrol will operate in Kyiv this winter: 200 hot meals will be distributed daily
In Kyiv, a social patrol for people without permanent housing and those who find themselves in difficult life circumstances will traditionally operate during the winter period. The mobile team will provide assistance daily and distribute hot meals free of charge at three locations in the capital.
This was reported by the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA).
The corresponding order was signed by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Social patrolling in the capital has been in effect since 2006. Traditionally the mobile team operates from 1 December to 1 April.
The mobile team will operate daily, including on weekends and holidays. Its members include a social worker, a driver, and a cook. The patrol will not only provide people with hot meals, but also inform them about available social services and the possibility of receiving assistance at specialized facilities.
The social patrol will deliver 200 portions of hot meals each day. They will be distributed free of charge according to the following schedule:
suburban railway station "Darnytsia", Pryvokzalna St., 1 - from 11:00 to 11:40;
railway station Kyiv-Volynskyi - from 13:10 to 13:30;
central railway station, Vokzalna St., 7 - from 13:50 to 14:50.
The social patrol’s assistance is intended for people without a permanent place of residence, those who have temporarily lost their housing, as well as people who are in crisis life circumstances.
At the same time, social patrolling is only one form of assistance. Kyiv has a network of facilities where people without housing can receive a temporary place to sleep, meals, personal hygiene items, and the opportunity to take a shower.
Specialists from the structural divisions of the House of Social Care also help with employment, restoring documents, registering a place of residence or stay, and obtaining necessary social services.
If you know a person who may need such support, you can contact the House of Social Care by phone: (044) 497-41-81.
Verification and updating of information about people who may potentially need temporary relocation or additional support in the event of an emergency this winter is also ongoing in Kyiv.
