More Than a Meal: How LIPPA and DePaul Are Helping the Homeless with Food Vouchers

Hunger is not just about food—it’s about dignity. For people experiencing homelessness, every day is a fight for survival, and access to something as basic as a warm meal is never guaranteed. That’s why, in partnership with DePaul, based in Slovakia, we launched the “Food Vouchers” project, providing direct and immediate relief to those most in need.

A Simple Solution with a Big Impact

In this initiative, 50 food vouchers, each worth 20 EUR, were donated to DePaul’s clients—individuals facing homelessness and extreme hardship. More than just aid, these vouchers allow recipients to choose their food, restoring a sense of autonomy and often promoting locscrisestions.

DePaul, with its deep understanding of the needs of its community, ensures that these vouchers go to those who need them most and can use them wisely. It’s not just about handing out assistance—it’s about empowering people with the means to take care of themselves.

Why Food Vouchers Matter

Traditional food aid is essential, but it often comes with limitations. Food vouchers provide a flexible, dignified alternative, allowing people to purchase what they truly need. Whether it’s fresh produce, a warm meal, or nutritional essentials, this approach puts choice back into the hands of those who rarely have one.

For someone struggling with homelessness, walking into a store, picking out food, and paying for it like anyone else is more than just a transaction—it’s a moment of normalcy and respect.

Collaboration That Changes Lives

At LIPPA, we know that real change happens when organizations collaborate. Our partnership with DePaul ensures that aid is distributed effectively, reaching those who need it most with care and dignity. This project is a testament to what can be achieved when we work together, focusing on providing help and creating opportunities for people to rebuild their lives.

We are proud of this collaboration and grateful to everyone who made it possible. As we move forward, we remain committed to finding innovative, impactful solutions to support vulnerable communities.

Because food is not just fuel—it’s hope. And everyone deserves a seat at the table.
