Restos du Cœur Launch 40th Campaign with Focus on Vulnerable Families

The French charity prioritizes aid for single-parent families and young children as it regains financial stability.

The Restos du Cœur, founded by Coluche in 1985, begin their 40th campaign, focusing on families with children under three and single parents.
After a financial crisis, the charity ended the last campaign with a €22 million surplus, thanks to significant donations from the public and major benefactors.
Despite the financial recovery, the organization had to lower income eligibility for aid, resulting in 110,000 people being turned away in the previous year.
The charity distributed 163 million meals last year, a slight decrease from the previous campaign, reflecting ongoing economic challenges.
With 1.3 million beneficiaries last year, the Restos du Cœur continue to address widespread poverty, affecting over nine million people in France.
