Stëmm vun der Strooss, the charity that supports disadvantaged members of our society, including the homeless, has announced that social workers consider it as dangerous to expose vulnerable individuals to extreme heat as it is to leave them outside at temperatures below 0°C; as a result, their restaurants in Esch-sur-Alzette and Luxembourg-Hollerich will remain open as usual, namely from 11:30 to 16:30.
In order to avoid risking the health of the individuals benefitting from professional reintegration into society, they will only be required to work in the morning. It has also been decided that the food prepared and served should be limited to cold dishes, and that water bottles would be widely distributed. However, the services usually proposed, such as showers, access to the laundry room, changing rooms and the medical service are being suspended. The social workers will make sure that their clients will take longer breaks, or leave earlier if necessary.
In addition, the drivers’ duties for the day have been restricted, as the van is not air conditioned. It has been decided that the amount of products to be retrieved from Auchan would be limited, and that only dried goods could be brought in.
