Legend Maradona’s birthplace became a soup kitchen

A mural on the house facade shows Maradona next to the words “The House of God”. A group of volunteers who cook for their neighbors practice charity there. The facility is led by Father Leonardo Fabian Alvarez, who reports an increased need for food in Villa Fiorito since President Javier Milei’s economic policies led to the closure of small factories. “People have obviously lost their jobs. They line up, get food and take what we give them,” the priest explained.
