Support the Emergency Shelter for Homeless KUBUS in Neukölln
Because of the permanent cold weather, KUBUS initiated an emergency shelter for homeless people. Without preconditions, homeless people can stay here over night. Alcohol and drug consumption is forbidden in the shelter. We offer breakfast and dinner, the people can take a shower and wash their clothes.
