It is a strategic milestone for our Network, which after several years of helping and offering to thousands of beneficiaries confirms the perfect work we are doing. The decision of the company, as well as other large organizations such as K.Y.D.A., to choose to cooperate with us is at the same time a move that is fully in line with Network’s strategy, to help people in need their daily life.

A few words about K.Y.A.D.A.

The purpose of the Center for Reception and Solidarity of the Municipality of Athens (KYADA) since 2005 is to address the problems of vulnerable populations affected by poverty and experiencing exclusion and social isolation. Through its structures, the Reception and Solidarity Center supports approximately 26,000 of our fellow citizens every month.

 

Lidl Hellas has been helping the Center’s difficult work since 2015, either by offering food and necessities to the homeless population of the city or by supporting the Love Meal, an initiative of the Municipality of Athens, distributing portions of food to vulnerable, social groups in the capital (homeless, needy, unemployed and low-income), who are deprived of the Christmas festive table every year.

 

“The main goal of K.Y.A.D.A. with this new program is the multifaceted support of the households that this year we’re called to face a huge challenge, that of the health and economic crisis caused by the pandemic. Our main goal is to avoid the social exclusion of families, who in this difficult time, need us more than ever. In this effort, we have allies Network of Social Solidarity & Assistance and Lidl Hellas “, stressed the President of K.Y.A.D.A., Mr. Grigoris Leon.
