The Tivat soup kitchen, which operates under the auspices of the humanitarian organization Caritas of the Diocese of Kotor, has distributed more than 20.000 hot meals to citizens in need in ten months of operation, for which groceries and money were provided by donors, and the food was prepared by Caritas volunteers.

This was announced by the director of Caritas of the Kotor Diocese, Don Zeljko Paskovic, who assessed that the idea of ​​establishing a soup kitchen in Tivat has proven its full meaning and purpose in practice in the past period.

"We thank the creator and initiator of this idea, the Montenegrin family from Berlin, as well as all socially responsible companies, institutions and individuals who support our work," said Pasković, emphasizing that by the decision of the President of the Municipality of Tivat Željko Komnenović "Significant financial resources have been allocated" from the city budget to finance the Caritas Soup Kitchen project.

Pasković added that the kitchen, located in part of the premises of the old Fire Station in Pakovo, which was provided to Caritas for free use by the Municipality of Tivat, delivers 70 hot meals daily to citizens in need.

"We would like to thank the Mayor of Tivat, Željko Komnenović, the members of the Tivat Municipal Assembly, and other stakeholders who have been involved since the beginning of the implementation of this humane project, which significantly improves the living conditions of socially vulnerable people. We would like to especially thank the representatives and employees of the Social Service of the Municipality of Tivat, with whose selfless help we contribute to improving and ensuring better conditions for socially vulnerable citizens of Tivat," Pasković announced.

He added that Caritas of the Diocese of Kotor, in addition to the Soup Kitchen project, has had many other significant humanitarian actions in the past period, as well as numerous plans for the coming period. Pasković therefore called on all socially responsible companies and individuals to continue supporting the work of this organization with money or direct donations of food to the Soup Kitchen in Tivat.
