We feel particular joy for the beautiful celebration that Boroume organized together with the Athens Business Triangle Upgrade Program in Athens on Saturday 14 October, on the occasion of World Food Day.

The social grocery in the municipality of Dionysos currently supports 500 people, offering them food and basic necessities once a month. In order to meet the current needs, it needs our support with regard to the following items:

We are particularly happy that Boroume can participate once more in the implementation of the annual social contribution programme of "Freskoulis offers a lap full of fruits and vegetables".

Several months ago we asked our friends at Ogilvy Public Relations Asset, with whom we have collaborated in the past in many common projects, if they were interested in helping us make a video for Boroume, which simply and directly conveys who and what our organization is and does.

An unexpected surprise awaited us recently when we were informed by the European Parliament that Boroume was selected, together with PRAKSIS and Mrs Catherine Panagopoulou, for the European Citizenship Award 2017.

The Club for UNESCO of Piraeus & Islands has created and operates social structures for immediate poverty alleviation as, for example, a shelter for the homeless, soup kitchens and social groceries to support people who are in need.

Where do we find excess food occurring? At every stage of the food chain from agricultural production and food processing, distribution, catering to households.

With great interest we have responded to the invitation to participate in research being conducted by the European Commission “on date marking and other information provided on food labels and food waste prevention”.
