ESSENTIAL ITEMS COLLECTED IN PARISHES FOR TURKEY AND SYRIA
Next Sunday, 12 February 2023, a number of parishes in Malta will be collecting basic and essential items to be sent to the people struck by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. This initiative is being coordinated by the Archdiocese of Malta through the Fondazzjoni Opri Soċjali.
The products needed include: canned and sealed food, sanitary products, tents, tent mattresses, sleeping bags, torches, batteries and power banks.
The full list of items to be collected can be obtained from the website djakonija.org/turkijasirja. Further details can be found there about the venues to which donations may be delivered.
Items may be left in the centres set up for this purpose in the parishes of Iklin, Qawra, Għaxaq, Gżira, Mosta and Birżebbuġa between 10am and 4pm. In each parish, a number of volunteers will receive the donations, sort and pack them well in special boxes to ensure they will reach their destination in as quickly as possible. The boxes will be passed on to the Civil Protection Department which is currently in continuous contact with the respective authorities in Turkey and Syria.
It is important to note that items not on the list of items specifically requested by the Civil Protection Department will not be accepted.
Fondazzjoni Opri Socjali works to provide support to diocesan entities, including Maltese parishes, and helps in the organisation of pastoral events and initiatives of social benefit to the community.

Kċina ta’ Marta – Help
26/01/2023
To be a volunteer kindly apply here
At Kċina ta’ Marta we prepare nutritious food to provide for needs in the community and sustain parish djakonija efforts. Although a token fee is charged per portion, all proceeds go toward a fund that supports parishes around Malta in their work amongst the needy.
This can only be possible through the support of volunteers who will also be provided with the necessary training for food handling.
At the moment support needed is as follows:
Kitchen Help – groups of 3 persons (if you don’t have a group no worries we can assign you to one) to help the cooks during the cooking sessions. Tasks vary but include food preparation, packaging and cleaning. At the moment this happens in 2 shifts, Friday 2pm to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
Food Deliveries to beneficiaries – this would require you to commit to deliver frozen portions of food from a freezer hub to a beneficiary once a week. The freezer hub is accessible with a code so you can do your delivery at any time that is possible for you as long as you agree with the beneficiary that the time is also good for them to receive the food portions and put them in freezer. In the event you cannot make it for a week or two we will help you find a substitute.
Food Deliveries to freezer hubs – this would require you to commit to deliver frozen portions of food from the kitchen to a freezer hub once a week. The freezer hub is accessible with a code so you can do your delivery at any time that is possible for you.
Community meals – parishes will be offered the chance to organise community meals and support our work. For such events we will need people to help us serving plating and helping our guest benefactors enjoy their meal. You can offer to be included in a WhatsApp group (that will be only used for such calls) through which calls for such help will be done….of course when a call is made, you consider your options and if you can make be with us great!
Il-Kċina ta’ Marta

Kċina ta Marta is a project that knows its roots in Solidarity meals. At Kċina ta’ Marta we prepare nutritious food to provide for needs in the community and sustain parish djakonija efforts. Although a token fee is charged per portion, all proceeds go toward the *Fond Djakonija Parrocci* a fund that supports parishes around Malta in their work amongst the needy.
Solidarity Meals was an initiative that started during the Covid lockdown, through the support of the Alfred Mizzi Foundation, providing cooked food for people who couldn’t cook for themselves. At its peak a team of 75 volunteers was delivering 850 meals a day all around Malta. On Christmas Day too, Solidarity Meals replaced the meal that Caritas organised at the Archbishop’s Curia in previous years due to covid restrictions whilst on Christmas day 2022 meals were delivered to those who still couldn’t make it to the Christmas meal at the Archbishops Curia. Children’s presents and boxes of Christmas goodies are also delivered to persons referred by parishes whom they deem need reminding of the communities’ closeness to them in the moment of need. Although amounts dropped as the restrictions subsided, the need was still present and to date the Maltese Parishes with the help of the Alfred Mizzi Foundation have been supporting such persons in our communities since.
LOOP Djakonija Parroċċi has now set up Kċina ta’ Marta, to continue providing for those who find themselves in need, whilst providing an opportunity for those who can help to do so. The Alf Mizzi Foundation’s support in all this has been constant and we are proud and honoured to call them our partners in all this. Other benefactors include, farmers who offer their crop, the St Peters Foundation who help out with fish, and different companies and individuals that support the initiative from time to time. LOOP Djakonija Parrocci, through Kcina ta Marta will soon be offering new products and services in it’s scope and offering its services in the community to continue and grow in its mission to support parishes reaching out to their communities. Provision for Community Meals and Diningrooms for the Lonely are amongst the projects in the pipeline.
Of course LOOP Djakonija Parroċċi is the fruit of coordinated efforts of the 70 parishes of the Archdiocese of Malta and the 6 church or religious led community social agencies present in our communities namely: The Millennium Chapel, The St Jeanne Antide Foundation, Fondazzjoni Caritas Malta, Paulo Freire institute, Segretarjat Assistenza Soċjali, and Fondazzjoni Sebħ who are our interlocutors with the individuals and communities we are here to serve.
All the people we help are also provided with professional help as necessary and their situation regularly assessed in order not to make them dependent on the system but rather realise their full potential. In the process in the past years Maltese parishes have been assisting around 1300 families with Food Hampers.
Solidarity Meals – How it works
Solidarity meals are provided to beneficiaries that Parish priests their delegates, or other social professionals deem needy. Every case is re-evaluated every 4 months. According to need beneficiaries are provided with a daily meal or the amount of meals that the professional referring deems necessary, normally this would be discussed beforehand with the beneficiary. Solidarity Meals beneficiaries will be provided with a mix of the following portions every week. We suggest a token donation of 1 euro per meal is sourced to support the work of many volunteers towards keeping the service sustainable. The parish or organisation where the beneficiary is a client and is being referred to solidarity meals have the discretion of how to fund this token donation. This can be done through fundraising, organisation funds or even involving beneficiary funds should their limitations not be of a financial nature. Parish Priests will also be able to also ask for help from the Djakonija Parish Fund. Meals are provided on a weekly basis by volunteers take up the task of delivering an agreed number of portions per week on a day and time agreed upon with the beneficiary.

Din is-sena il-laqghat ghall-operaturi pastorali tad-djakonija fil-parroċċi u l-komunita ser isiru b’mod hybrid.
Inheggu kemm jistghu minnkom ikunu maghna fizikament imma nifhmu li ghal x’uhud dan mhux possibbli. Ghaldaqstant se naghmlu hilitna biex inzommu wkoll il-laqgha fuq zoom, bl-ahjar partecipazzjoni possibbli.
PROGRAMM TAS-SENA
Hawn isfel qed nghaddulkom il-Programm ghal din is-sena kollha. Tindunaw li xi drabi il-laqgha ser issir fl-ahhar tlieta tax-xahar u ohrajn fl-ahhar Hamis tax-xahar dan anke biex min it-tlieta dejjem mehud ikun jista almenu jattendi tal-hamisijiet.
Il-Laqghat fizici ser ikunu qed isiru f’parrocci diversi anke biex niltaqghu mar-realtajiet fil-komunitajiet taghna.
napprezzaw li jkun hemm sforz biex kull parroċċa ikolla raprezentanza f’kull laqgha.
Din is-sena min jippartecipa ghal mill-inqas 70 fil-mija tal-laqghat, ser ikun rikonoxxut mill-Pastoral Formation Institute- Dwar dan naghtu aktar dettalji fl-ewwel laqgha.
