The Social Project of the Basic Goods Supply Structures of the Municipality of Byron

The Municipality of Vyrona, on the occasion of the economic crisis, is creating the structures for the provision of basic goods (Social Grocery, Subsidy and Social Pharmacy), in cooperation with the Region of Attica, within the framework of the NSRF Regional Operational Program "Attica 2014-2020" and provides free Groceries, feeding and medicines to beneficiaries. The purpose of the operation of these Structures is the relief of the residents of the Municipality of Byron through their direct material and psychosocial support. The selection of the beneficiaries is made according to socio-economic criteria, by the Social Workers of the Structures, with the aim of providing assistance to vulnerable population groups. As it is therefore about Social Structures that support people, the main concern is not only the material coverage of needs, but also to contribute to the psychosocial Stabilization of the community.

Beneficiaries are: the homeless, the needy, the uninsured, the unemployed, people with disabilities and health problems, families (single parents and many children) and general households threatened or in a state of poverty and weakness.

Three (3) years (2017-2020) with possibility of extension.

The continuation of the Structures is based exclusively on the support of the businesses and companies of the local society and not only, with the free provision of products, as they become the main suppliers of the Structures, since the coverage in products is not financed. It is also based on the social contribution of all citizens who have free goods and services.

The Structures operate under the auspices of the Municipality of Byron in collaboration with the Region of Attica, with the aim of providing material and psychosocial support to the beneficiaries.
