On May 14th and 15th, 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, pork, and more. Around 220 packages were distributed, primarily to underprivileged families and individual beneficiaries, including 10 packages for the police pension fund received by the group’s president, Mr. George Kaliakmanis.
The distribution took place under the guidance of Ms. Maria Siourdi, director of the H.R.F’s partner organization ΕΛΕΘΣΥ, alongside volunteers Yannis Lambrou and Fotis Panagiotakopoulos, and in the presence of Mr. Evgenios Bardis from AHEPA Greece, which donated the pork. In addition to the basic food items, the monthly packages were enriched with the pork, vegetables like green beans, peas, and spinach – complements of Barba Stathis – butter provided by Ariston, SOFTEX shoes, among others.
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, SOFTEX and AHEPA.
Looking ahead, the Hellenic Relief Foundation will be hosting a dinner dance gala celebrating 15 years since the group’s founding and benefiting the Christmas food donation program on October 11th at The Graycliff in Moonachie, NJ.
