About This Service
The purpose of the Social Canteen is to respond to the difficult situation in which the beneficiaries of the foundation's social services find themselves and to respond together to their holistic needs.
Every day, 75 beneficiaries are served a meal in the social canteen: children, adults with disabilities and elderly people.
How We Operate
To ensure the smooth running of the services offered by the Social Canteen, we carefully plan a weekly menu based on the principles of healthy, balanced nutrition, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Depending on the menu, we procure vegetables, fruit, dairy products and charcuterie at least weekly.
Beneficiaries enjoy a hot meal consisting of a soup or ciorba and a consistent main course. The menus are varied and include traditional desserts.
The menu is displayed weekly in a visible place.
Quality & Hygiene Standards
The kitchen is equipped and fitted out according to the standards. We have a greenhouse and a vegetable and fruit garden, whose produce we process and preserve for the winter.
Lunch is served in 3 or 4 shifts depending on the activity schedule, starting at 12:00 and finishing at 15:00. Beneficiaries eat in specially arranged and properly equipped spaces.
Following the beneficiary satisfaction survey, most rated the quality of the service as good and very good.
Our Team
The canteen operates with a dedicated team including: social worker Florin Avram, social pedagogue Oana Mehedin, psycho-pedagogue Petronia Popa, a cook, a kitchen assistant and a driver who helps with supplies and gardening.
In 2025, the Social Canteen received a subsidy from the Municipality of Sighisoara under Law 34/1998, for 25 beneficiaries, in the amount of 165,000.00 lei.
