Every autumn, the Hercules team prepares for the cold season by stocking up on vegetables and fruit and organizing the “Autumn Pantry,” ensuring that the children benefit from healthy and tasty meals throughout the winter. For us, the Hercules project implementation team, preparing food on-site at the center - without relying on commercially preserved products - is also a way to use resources responsibly and efficiently.

In 2025, volunteers from Caroli Foods Group (at the Hercules Center) and ADM (at the BufKids Center) supported us in filling the pantry with pickled vegetables, zacuscă, tomato paste, and jams.
