On 11 May 20118, the Lublin Food Bank once again joined the celebration of the Open Days of European Funds. Report from previous ones can be viewed HERE. As part of the event, the exhibition stands of the Food Bank Partner Organizations in Lublinien and the WTZ exhibition stands from the Świdnicki poviat (occupational therapy workshops for people with disabilities) could be viewed. Works from occupational therapy workshops ASSOCIATIONS MISERICORDIA were also presented. The event satisfied the needs for spirit and body. There were workshops and culinary demonstrations for children and entire families. It was shown how in a simple way, using products that can be obtained as part of the assistance from the Food Bank, you can create elegant and delicious snacks. The children became fascinated by the process of creating sorbets. For the youngest, there are also entertainment in the form of inflatables and various games, complemented by competitions and knowledge quizzes about the European Union. The entire event was graced with performances by “PAKA WOŹNIAKA” from the commune of Serniki and the folk band “BABECZKI” from the commune of Nowodwór. A good performance was given by the DELUXE TEAM. We would like to thank all those involved in the creation of the event and all participants.

President of Food Bank in Lubin
Dear Ms. President,
thank you very much for the invitation to participate in the Conference “Slice of Bread from Heart”. Greetings to Organizers, Speakers and all participants of the meeting in Lublin.
I am very happy that the capital of Lublin Voivodeship became a place to exchange experience of Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, France and Poland representatives about the functioning of the Operational Program Food Aid 2014-2020 in their countries. This UE program is a valuable tool against poverty and malnutrition, because besides the distribution of food among the people in need, its goal is a broad spectrum of education and promotion of good practice including culinary, dietary workshops, economical education classes and anti-food waste workshops.
I am deeply convinced that the Conference under the slogan “Slice of Bread from Heart” will yield valuable analysis and conclusions about the part of Operational Program Food Aid 2014-2020 in the Social Service System. I trust that the exchange of knowledge and experience will demonstrate how to use this tool in most effective way so the food aid can reach as many people dealing with poverty, as possible.
I wish you good atmosphere for the meeting and inspiring discussions. I congratulate the Organizers again and I wish you a lot of energy to realize the activities for the people in need.
Yours Sincerely

Food Bank in Lublin – Presentation about complementarietes between FEAD and ESF 2016
The slice of bread – it’s a name of the magazine issued by The Food Bank in Lublin Summing up conference of the Food Aid Operational Program 2015 – Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) There was a conference summarizing the current implementation of the Food Aid Operational Programme (Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived) in the Lublin Voivod’s Office in Lublin. The president of the Food Bank in Lublin, Ms. Marzena Pieńkosz – Sapieha was an initiator of this conference. Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy and the Voivod of Lublin were patrons of this event. The conference was attended by representatives of partner organizations, experts, representatives of local authorities. The aim of the meeting was to discuss the issue of good practice and to recognize possible fields of improvement.
Marzena Pieńkosz – Sapieha asked the guests to talk about the ways of helping and how to make FEAD more useful for people and for organizations. During the main panel discussion participants shared their practices. Worth noting are the following conclusions and demands: Implementation of the program depends on the involved leaders. Also very important are partnerships with local governments and Social Assistance Centers and the faith in the sense of action. It is easy to start cooperation with organization even after only one phone call with request. The key to effective implementation of the program is a commitment and cooperation, especially the commitment of volunteers. Where people can work together, there are benefits for everyone. Panelists were also talking about problems, specially about legendary FEAD bureaucracy. Most of them understand that some data are just necessary and it is not to hard to fill ready-to-fill forms. The next part of the panel was about promotion. The guests were talking about ways to increase the number of cooperating organizations and local authorities. There are some places in Lublin area which are not taking a part in FEAD. Guests were talking about the huge commitment of volunteers and workers of Social Assistance Centers. They often take a huge effort to prepare many documents and to give food from the warehouse.
One of the panelists recommended a proven model of cooperation with the Fire Brigade Guards and with another rural organizations. In his opinion sometimes the help of these voluntary organizations is necessary due to lack of other charity organizations in some villages.
The next important part of the conference was about how does the FEAD complement the European Social Fund. Representatives of ESF, Marshal’s Office and other institutions explained how FEAD support will help people take their first steps out of poverty and social exclusion. The FEAD will help the most deprived people by addressing their most basic needs, which is a precondition for them to be able to get a job or follow a training course such as those supported by the ESF.
The representatives of organizations and young artists presented artistic show and prepared regional cuisine specialties at the end of the conference.
