The kitchen in the day care center for the elderly in the village of Pokrovan is of vital importance for its residents, of whom 60 people live alone, and 10 of them cannot leave the house due to old age or illness.

For 22 years now, year-round and every day, the kitchen prepares nutritious food (soup and main course), which the chef and social workers of Caritas Sofia deliver to the homes of the most needy.

Along with this, the social workers from the Center's kitchen provide a different kind of help to improve the living conditions of the elderly. They help them in the household, contact a doctor, shop for necessary products, medicines, etc. They talk to them about their joys, pains and various needs. Communication is a very important part and support in the daily life of old people.
