SOCIAL SOLIDARITY & HELP NETWORK

The "Social Solidarity & Relief Network" has been active since the first day of its establishment, in 2013, with the aim of establishing strong foundations for the consolidation of Social Solidarity standards.

It is an urban non-profit corporation, which was established in the context of Corporate Social Responsibility actions, in order to become the bridge of communication between businesses and society, to encourage businesses to support individuals, groups, charities, organizations and related bodies and to offer materials goods and/or services.

The ambitious plan and the sacred purpose that the "Network" is called to carry out brought together in its ranks the most important business entities of Thessaloniki, with the sole aim of undertaking the implementation of a venture that has not been repeated anywhere in our country to date. The ultimate goal is to bridge the business world with society, offering substantial help and long-term benefits to vulnerable groups and individuals facing problems within society.

The most important business entities of Thessaloniki joined forces and founded the Network of Social Solidarity and Assistance. They undertook a project that has not been implemented as it is, anywhere in our country to date. They joined forces to establish the first non-profit corporation that will bridge the business world with society. These bodies are the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Thessaloniki (ΕΒΘ), the Chamber of Commerce of Thessaloniki (CCT), the Professional Chamber of Thessaloniki (PCT), the Association of Greek Industries (AGI), the Exporters' Association (EA) and the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce (TCC) ).

The support of the rations in the wider area of Greece, in order to cover the feeding needs of needy families and the support of those of our fellow human beings facing significant livelihood problems.

 

Target Audience

Vulnerable groups, associations and organized groups

 

Duration

The "Offer to the sissities" program was the reason for the creation of the Network and has been an integral part of its action since its foundation in 2013.


Description

The purpose of the proposed action is to provide assistance to the community groups by offering basic necessities and basic materials in order to use them in meals that will be distributed to families in need. The proposed action provides for the relief of social groups with very low, if not any, income who are forced to resort to social gatherings for basic needs. Distribution is done on a consistent and regular basis. Through a categorized list of rations per prefecture, and after the needs of the rations have been mapped, basic necessities, raw materials, personal hygiene items, etc. are delivered.
