Luna has collaborated with the Resto du Cœur of Belgium Federation for several years. The Restos were keen to develop their press relations with a professional partner, in order for example to raise the awareness of donors and to increase the donations made, with a view to coping with the needs of the beneficiaries. Over the COVID-19 crisis period and due to several successive crises, the demand for food has certainly increased enormously. Luna successfully organised many audiovisual interviews (RTBF, Radio 2, etc.) and as a result has got excellent coverage for the Restos du Cœur.
