Arche München in Moosach marks 20 years of support for children and young people

The Arche München children's and youth facility in Moosach was due to celebrate its 20th anniversary with an event on 15 October at 3pm at its premises at Am Hartmannshofer Bächl 52.

City councillor Alexandra Gaßmann, of the CSU group on the city council, was scheduled to give a welcoming address at the celebration on behalf of the Lord Mayor.

Since September 2006, the Arche has looked after up to 120 children and young people aged between 5 and 18 every day. They receive a free hot meal, help with their homework and leisure activities.

Alongside its social and educational care, the Arche also offers various forms of help to socially disadvantaged people.

The facility also tries to reach the children's parents, including through a regular parents' breakfast, advice and other activities.
