A Festive Menu for All: together, let’s make the holidays shine in every heart!
December 2025
The end-of-year celebrations should be synonymous with joy, warmth and sharing for everyone. Yet for thousands of vulnerable families in Belgium, this period is marked more by anxiety, loneliness and deprivation.
To bring a little light back to the beneficiaries of the Restos du Cœur we are launching the 6th edition of our major solidarity campaign:
“A Festive Menu for all!”
Offering a menu means offering far more than a meal
Last year, 8,210 Festive Menus were served across Belgium.
This year again, the Restos du Cœur are joining forces to ensure that no one is forgotten at the table.
Behind every donation lies a rediscovered smile, a spark of renewed hope.
Thanks to the generosity of many donors, we hope to provide a true festive meal to those who otherwise would have nothing to celebrate.
Solidarity under strain
Since 2019, the demand for food aid has surged by 143 %.
In 2024, more than 1.6 million meals and food parcels were distributed nationwide. And this trend continues: between January and October 2025, 1,253,240 meals and food parcels have already been distributed.
Behind these figures are families, older people, and workers who, despite their efforts, can no longer make ends meet. Faced with this reality, every donation matters more than ever, helping them to forget—if only for a moment—the harshness of daily life.
Every act of support enables us to continue offering not only food, but also human warmth, respect and dignity.
Make a difference
Every contribution, small or large, lights another candle in someone’s heart.
Together, let’s make the festive season more inclusive and compassionate.
Donations of at least €40 are tax-deductible.
Because a meal is far more than a hot dish — it is a little shared humanity.
