Short Story About Restos du Coeur

The Restos du Cœur is a French charitable organisation which activity is to distribute food and hot meals to the needy.

It was founded by the French comedian Coluche in 1985. The first of the Restos opened on December 21st and soon multiplied all over the country.
The goal of the founders was to give away 200,000 meals per day; 8.5 million alone were distributed the first winter.

The initiative was supported by a song written by the songwriter and singer Jean-Jacques Goldman called 'Les Restos du Cœur'. A televised show allowed the organisation to collect several million euros each year.

In 2007, 81,7 millions meals have been served which is very worrying.
