Monaco’s chefs cook free meals for those less fortunate
Monte-Carlo SBM
Chefs from the Monte-Carlo company Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) have responded to a call for help from the Monégasque organisation Solidarpole, vowing to help those in need.
Having supported healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as helping the victims of Storm Alex last year, SBM are now doing their bit, along with volunteers, to help the organisation Solidarpole on the 6, 8, 10 and 12 April.

Over a four day period, 12 chefs are taking on the task of preparing 340 packed lunches for those less fortunate. Solidarpole, an organisation combining the aim of economic growth with ecological and social awareness, will work together with SBM on this never-before-seen initiative. Meals will be prepared in Monaco and distributed via the humanitarian organisation “Le Fourneau Économique de Nice”.
Now more than ever, our establishments must show commitment and solidarity in the face of economic and social challenges
