The Chaplaincy

Brasserie de Kapelanij is an initiative of the Limburg Foundation for Autism, an entrepreneur in care and welfare, and the municipality of Zutendaal. With this initiative, we aim to provide people with autism and/or other disabilities the opportunity to participate, either behind the scenes or in front, and enjoy meaningful daytime activities. We try to engage people with autism, who particularly face challenges in social and communicative areas, in the social activities of a hospitality business in this way.
Furthermore, we are running a project together with the municipality of Zutendaal as part of a rural development program. Our project is named ‘Eat local, think global’ and aims to promote the consumption of local and seasonal products with a view towards sustainable agriculture. In the dishes on our menu, we primarily use local ingredients to limit the 'food miles' and keep the food chain as short as possible. To this end, community gardens have been created nearby by the municipality where local residents can grow vegetables in an environmentally friendly manner.
We also work with third-world and fair-trade products from the Oxfam world shop. These products are included in our menu offerings.
Finally, we also handle any proceeds generated by the Kapelanij differently. These proceeds are fully reinvested in care, thus benefiting people with autism.
