FOOD AID

 

 

 

Food Bank

 

MPC opened the Food Bank in 2000 as the number of refugees increased throughout Russia. Each month, 160 United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) registered refugees come to the Food Pantry to receive a bag of grocery staples. This contribution helps alleviate the burden many refugees feel as they themselves struggle to sustain themselves in Russia.

Economic and political circumstances in many African
and Middle Eastern countries has forced waves of
refugees and migrants to settle in Russia.
Many come to Moscow in search of work but are systematically
marginalized and have difficulty obtaining necessary
paperwork for legal employment.
