-Adapted the vehicle to allow volunteers to distribute resources such as: food, drinks, clothing; blankets or hygiene products.
- Cover a large geographical area and intervene in different neighborhoods to reach a large number of people in precarious situations.
- Take advantage of this opportunity to give advice and redirect destitute people to accommodation, catering, showers, health facilities, etc.
- At the same time, volunteers must interact with them and create a social bond through warm exchanges and attentive listening.
- Urgently offer conditional aid to help these people.
Finally, mobile patrols play an essential role in supporting and responding to the needs of the homeless.
