Many dozens of portions of a wonderful yoghurt pie, delicious and nutritious biscuits and even more smiles sum up the social cooking action we organized recently together with the volunteers of the JTI company.
Why did you decide to volunteer? Very simply because I had the willingness to offer. Because especially at this time it is very important to show our interest with actions and not just words. For me volunteering is a way to change what we see around us and to face the world a little more positively.
In May we had the pleasure of cooperating with the Greek-French School of Ursulines in a special way! The students of the High School participated in two programs of Boroume, in the "Boroume at the Farmers’ Market" and "Boroume at School", combining in this way the educational part to reduce food waste with an experiential action in two farmers’ markets, in Papagou and in the Ellinoroson area.
Every day, we have the pleasure of cooperating with hundreds of food donors, including companies, which, although not active in the food and catering sector, are actively contributing to the reduction of food wastage.
The Holy Church of Metamorphosis Sotiros in Kallithea, having been involved with social work for many years, supports 375 people daily through a soup kitchen, with food cooked with love and joy by the volunteers of the church.
It is with great joy that we have been cooperating from 2012 with the hotel NOVOTEL ATHENES, which from the beginning of our action, showed great interest in Boroume’s work to reduce food wastage, which also coincides with the philosophy of the hotel.
The volunteers of the company JTI with their participation in the program "Boroume at the Farmers’ Market " saved and offered more than 630 kilos of fruits and vegetables in just a few hours.
The Social Grocery of the municipality of Mandra-Eidyllia supports on a monthly basis more than 500 families in need in the wider region offering food and essentials.
