On 3 ottobre Piazza Monte Grappa in Varese will host the first outing of PizzAutobus Varese, the new service launched by Abad cooperativa sociale. The debut is scheduled for the Granfondo Tre Valli Varesine, the first opportunity to see the vehicle and meet the work team.
The project grew out of a collaboration with PizzAut and support from Thea Group, which purchased the vehicle intended for the initiative. The offering is a food truck to be hosted at a company, at a school, or during local initiatives. According to Abad, pizza preparation and service become a concrete opportunity for work and interaction.
A traveling service with an employment purpose
From that date, the PizzAutobus will operate in the province of Varese. Interested companies, schools and local organizations will be able to contact Abad to learn about the proposal and discuss the possibility of hosting it. The cooperative brings to the project more than thirty years of experience in the employment inclusion of people with disabilities and vulnerabilities, described as the foundational reason for its commitment.
The new service expands this experience through mobile catering. The project provides for the employment of four people with autism spectrum disorder, working on the truck under the guidance of a supervisor. The vehicle will therefore be a workplace in which to develop skills, take on responsibilities and interact with the public.
The PizzAutobus's presence in different settings will also help people get to know the project through direct experience of the service. For President Giuseppe Di Carlo, the collaboration with PizzAut stems from a strong affinity of purpose:
«For Abad – says President Giuseppe Di Carlo – the collaboration with PizzAut stems from a strong affinity of purpose: the belief that work is one of the fundamental tools of social integration and personal fulfillment».

In fact, the source links the continuity of the service to building collaborations capable of supporting new employment opportunities.
The contact also serves to keep the two aspects separate: on the one hand, a mobile catering and employment-inclusion project; on the other, the personal matters of those who work across the border. For the latter, use calcolatore fiscale.
