La Barque's "The social luggage facility":  An accomplished project to support the most vulnerable!

We're delighted to share some excellent news with you: the "The social luggage facility" project run by the La Barque association in Tours is now up and running! We're proud to see this solidarity initiative come to fruition, offering invaluable support to people in precarious situations.

La Barque, a café association committed to helping the homeless, has responded to a crucial need by creating this project. Thanks to this initiative, they now have a safe place to keep their personal belongings, giving them peace of mind and facilitating their reintegration into society.

The creation of "The social luggage facility" represents a significant step towards improving the living conditions of vulnerable people.

Thanks to Retreeb's involvement, "The social luggage facility" has been successfully completed. The project comprises 12 individual lockers made from recycled wood, offering a sustainable and environmentally-friendly solution. Each locker is fitted with a padlock, guaranteeing the safety of stored goods.

This success is the fruit of the solidarity and commitment of many individuals.

We would like to thank all our users, those who supported this project and those who continue to support other local community initiatives through Retreeb. Your support is essential if we are to continue realizing projects that bring about real change in our society.

Through "The social luggage facility", La Barque and Retreeb demonstrate their commitment to those most in need. The community café continues to be a warm and caring place, offering support and guidance without discrimination.

We are convinced that this inspiring project will continue to change lives and open up new perspectives for the most vulnerable people in our society. It is with immense satisfaction that we celebrate the realization of "The social luggage facility", and we hope that it will encourage other solidarity initiatives to emerge in our society.

If you too would like to support local community projects, you can use Retreeb as a means of payment and contribute to change!
