On June 24th and 25th, the Hellenic Relief Foundation and their partner organization in Athens ΕΛΕΘΣΥ conducted their monthly distribution at their Athens headquarters, in partnership with the Social Committee of the Athenian Society and AHEPA. The packages contained pasta, rice, flour, barley, oil, milk, chicken cut into pieces, and more. Around 320 packages were distributed, primarily to underprivileged families and individual beneficiaries.
The distribution took place under the guidance of Maria Siourdi, director of the H.R.F’s partner organization ΕΛΕΘΣΥ, alongside volunteers Yannis Lambrou, Fotis Panagiotakopoulos, and Poly Kalfopoulou and in the presence of Panagiotis Boutsis from the SAP Organization, which donated four 17 liter tins of oil and two crates of vegetables. In addition to the basic food items, the monthly packages were enriched with vegetables from Barba Stathis, butter provided by Ariston, chicken, and more.
Corporate sponsors for this distribution, and others past, included the N. Konstantopoulou Group, Agrovim, the Social Committee of the Athenian Society, Food Bank, Loulis Mills, Barba-Stathis, Alpiland, Karamolegos, Hermes Harisiadis SA, AHEPA, and the SAP Organization.
