Some 200 vulnerable, lonely and needy people enjoyed a Christmas meal at Caritas today in an initiative held for the first time this year.

Caritas PRO Marica Mizzi said people started arriving at the Caritas headquarters in Floriana at 10am. They were greeted with hot chocolate and later lunch which lasted until about 3pm.

All food was prepared by the Caritas shelters or donated by confectionaries, food companies and many other benefactors. Some 50 Caritas volunteers donated their time to ensure the guests had a memorable experience.

President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca and Archbishop Charles Scicluna also paid Caritas' guests a visit.

 

All set and ready to welcome guests.All set and ready to welcome guests.
