Held up in red tape, the Deputy Mayor, Nikos Pettas, attributes the problems that have arisen in the operation of the social restaurant, namely the delay in the food supply procedures needed for its operation. However, it provides an assurance that the target is that by the end of the month the electronic tender for the supply of food will have been completed as the credits are there and soon will start operating.

The economic crisis has hit many households over the period, which is characterized by a rapid increase in the poor, the unemployed, the elderly and those who follow the movement of bins in order to obtain their necessities for their survival. At the Social Grocery, we meet people of all ages who manage – and quite rightly – to overcome their initial hesitations and seek the goods they need. It is reminded that the concentration of food for this, is such an important structure and has contributed in the past both to our fellow citizens (now limited to the minimum) and to the Union of Greek Ship-owners (by the end of 2014). Unfortunately, the supply of food by businesses and ship-owners has stopped, and the economic downturn, which greatly reduces its effective operation, continues.

Our fellow residents are fed on a daily basis at the Municipal Restaurant and hundreds of portions are distributed through the Home Help program on a weekly basis.
