In December 2020, the Restos du cœur de Chartres launched a new initiative: the Restobus. An itinerant food distribution center which aims to allow people in a precarious situation to benefit from one hot meal per week, in the Agglomeration of Chartres.
A year later, almost to the day, Françoise Souliman, prefect of Eure-et-Loir, accompanied the volunteers of the Restos du cœur to the Restobus, an itinerant food distribution center, on the evening of this Wednesday, December 8, 2021, at the Maison Pour Tous des Comtesses, in Chartres.

The Restobus is another device. An itinerant truck. intended for people who cannot move in the centers of Lucé, Mainvilliers and Chartres. They are people with reduced mobility, precarious workers, students… We have received funding to support us. for example, the state funded a traveling refrigerated truck for the Restobus, which is due to arrive soon. “
Where to find the Restobus in Chartres and in the agglomeration of Chartres
The State representative recalled the essential role played by volunteers during this period:
“The State supports the associations with in particular a truck for the Restobus, which should arrive by spring. The period of extreme cold begins and it is essential to support the structures. There is a large and diverse population for whom poverty is a reality. Especially many young people, who have suffered from the Covid crisis. The marauding and the Restobus are also initiatives that help maintain a social link. “
