In our department of Athens, every two weeks we have our social kitchen cooking. We gather on Wednesday mornings around 10:30 and start with the cooking. Around 15:00 we load up our van and go to Piraeus port for the distribution.
At a different time, we gather to prepare the “boxes of love” filling them with goods that every household needs.
