Six Brussels chefs to cook for homeless to raise awareness for Red Cross campaign

Six of Brussels top chefs will leave their kitchens on Saturday 3 November to cook for the Brussels homeless and raise awareness on the winter Red Cross campaign.

David Martin of La Paix, Alexander Dionisio of Villa in the Sky, Karen Torosyan of Bozar Restaurant, Lionel Rigolet of Comme chez Soi, Mathieu Jacri (La Villa Emily) and Giovanni Bruno (Senza Nome) will prepare soups and desserts that will be distributed by volunteers to homeless on 3 November at Place de la Monnaie in central Brussels.

The event is aimed to raise awareness on the winter campaign that is aimed to help families in need in Belgium.

Red Cross will be inviting people to discover their new eshop where people will be able to buy virtual products that will help to fill the shopping baskets fo families in need. All the support is aimed at helping these families or individuals to eat.

Red Cross said that 20 per cent of the Belgian population or around 2.3 million people are at risk of poverty or of social exclusion.

Red Cross operates centres in Brussels where the homeless can get a roof over their heads and eat some food which can be a real life-saver especially when it is very cold outside.
