Festive canteen for the poor

For 34 years our Club has supported a festive canteen for poor people in via Saccarelli in Turin, one of the many initiatives of the Vincentian Volunteer Groups. The canteen, which has a capacity of 150 covers (full lunch with table service) and an additional 120 takeaway meals, opened in 1986 and has been distributing hot meals to needy people on Sundays and holidays ever since. Once a year the Club meets, for conviviality, on the very premises of the canteen, allocating to this service the fee that would be due to the restaurant where we traditionally meet. And in the very canteen premises, and this is what is even more important, many Members of the club and their family members serve at the tables weekly. Now, due to covid the canteen is closed and the volunteers devote themselves to other Vincentian Volunteer activities. https://www.gvvtorino.org/contatti/

Insuperables

On October 6, 2012, 4 boys with disabilities held the first training session of the Total Sport Soccer School in Turin. By the end of the season, the 4 boys have become 25 soccer players whose example, strength and determination inspire the name of the club we all know today: INSUPERABLES. Over the next 3 years the Genoa, Syracuse and Rome offices were inaugurated. One of the main goals of Insuperabili Onlus begins to take shape, to create a network of highly qualified Soccer Schools for children with disabilities that can in time create a true cultural movement. In 8 years, 17 Locations have been inaugurated, and 650 soccer players have worn the blue and white colors. Some members of the club, including Paolo Piano are active in its action. https://insuperabili.eu
