ADELE: Healing through Food at Refettorio Felix

Refettorio's mission extends far beyond what we normally associate with dining. By partnering with Food for Soul, Refettorio offers not only meals but connections, support, and healing to the most vulnerable. Within these welcoming walls, people like Adele, a home therapist at Refettorio Felix, dedicate themselves to services that guests of the Refettorio wouldn't be able to receive elsewhere. Adele's role is particularly unique and transformative. Let's delve into her compelling "Food Saved Me" story.

Meet ADELE

Adele's passion goes beyond serving food; she aids people in reconnecting with their body and needs. As a home therapist, she detects food sensitivities and allergies, offering insights and support to those who would otherwise go without such personalized care.

Nurturing Through Food

Adele's perspective on food is both insightful and comforting. She sees it as a source of healing and nurturing.

Food as Healing

"Food is such a nurturing thing much of our life is orientated around food," Adele shares. "Every time you have a meal, you are healing on so many levels." Her perspective transforms the simple act of eating into a profound healing process.

A Valuable Insight

Being a part of the Refettorio community allows Adele to offer her expertise to those who need it most. She feels honored to provide guidance and comfort, recognizing the value of being able to reach people who might otherwise not receive such care. "To be able to help people here, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get this sort of help is really important for me," she emphasizes.

The Power of Community

Refettorio isn't only about food but the overall experience and community it fosters. "The Refettorio is this centre where people can donate all the food, for the wonderful chef who turns it into something delicious," Adele explains. But it's more than just the food that makes the place special; it's the service, the smiles, and the sense of belonging. "Everyone is made to feel welcome here," she adds.
