Introduction
As soon as you arrive in Buenos Aires you will be amazed by
its beauty, size, attraction and dynamic life, among other things.
Most foreign tourists coming to our city for the first time
admit their surprise to find such an European city, where most
of its neighborhoods, buildings, customs and people could be
seen in any city of the first world.
It is also true that in many areas and neighborhoods of our
great city, neighbors have a purchasing power similar in average
to that of many American or European citizens.
Nevertheless, as in any great city, there are other neighborhoods
with lots of people, who you would probably not meet in your
visit, whose basic needs are not met.
These is the people we pretend to help with Help Buenos Aires.
Caritas Canteen –San Francisco Javier Church
 |
Caritas
Parish Canteen is located in Nicaragua 4835 street,
in our neighborhood of Palermo Viejo.
There, and from Monday to Friday, lunch and dinner are provided
to over 200 people between the two shifts.
On Tuesdays, clothes and food are distributed to the people
of the neighborhood. One hundred and twenty-eight families are
benefited from this service.
On Fridays food is distributed to over 400 families during all
day, and food is also delivered to take home. This service is
open to anybody who needs it.
The person responsible for this great deed is the Catholic priest,
Father Martín Bracht.
He, together with a team of volunteers who cooperate with their
efforts for free, carry out such a noble and necessary enterprise.
If, apart from enjoying a pleasant and unforgettable vacation
in our city, you wish to be part of this great action, cooperating
with it, you can do so getting in contact with:

Important
note:
Visiting Buenos Aires gives this space to promote the action
carried out by Father Bracht’s community canteen.
We personally know Father Martín Bracht, his collaborators
(in whom we fully trust and who deserve all our respect and
admiration) and, of course, his acts of charity.
Therefore, we would like to contribute our grain of sand,
acting as a link between you and Father Bracht’s action,
through our web site.
All donations made by you, whether it is food, clothes or
money, will be carried out directly between you and Father
Bracht.
The community canteen does not receive guided visits, but
if you wish to visit it personally, you should first get in
contact with Father Bracht.
We are sure that you will enjoy your stay in Buenos Aires
twice as much if, besides visiting our warm city, you help
this people who are in need of so many things.
