Rescue & Food Offering Partnerships: EPAPSY - Accomodation Unit in Penteli

For many years we have been supporting the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Accommodation Unit in Penteli through the "Saving & Offering" program. We are particularly happy not only because we have developed a very beautiful collaboration with the Unit managers, but above all because we support people facing food insecurity. 

We sincerely thank Mrs. Eleni-Konstantina Karalis for her excellent cooperation and kind words.
