We are very pleased that in addition to the strong involvement of civil society, initiatives are being taken to formulate policies to tackle food waste at European and global institutional levels.
Pnoi Elpidas is an organization that operates in Thessaloniki from 2010 to support about 85 families in need.
We would like to say a big thank you to the organizers of the press event "Lemnos Philema" for their initiative to contact us and offer the surplus food from the event they organized!
A few days ago we had the pleasure of visiting the preschool nursery "The Dolphins" to read with our little friends about the actions of "Dinosaur" and to talk with them about the issue of food waste and about giving.
The actions of the first two operating weeks of the program "Boroume at the Farmers’ Market" in the farmers’ markets of Ntepo, Stavroupoli and Agios Dimitrios in Thessaloniki were successfully completed!
More than 37 tons of fresh fruits and vegetables were "saved" from January to April 2018 with the cooperation of Boroume’s volunteers, the vendors of 16 farmers’ markets..
The motto of Boroume is "Every meal matters" and by this we mean that every day we do our best to save and offer every food donation entrusted to us, always to the appropriate local recipient charity.
It is with immense pleasure that a few days ago we started cooperating with the non-profit organization The Tipping Point in Education to disseminate our message to schools all over Greece.
