CORFU. Many bodies supported the effort of the Poor Fund and the community shop, in order for everyone to celebrate Easter with dignity.
With love and support both from parishes, as well as from bodies and businesses, but especially from ordinary people, the Corfu Metropolitan Church tried to ensure that noone would be left helpless during the Easter period, not only in terms of food, but also in terms of basic necessities, especially families. The Archbishop of Corfu Nektarios thanked the bodies of the island who contributed to the effort of the Poor Fund and the community shop, in order for everyone to celebrate Easter with dignity.
Specifically, on Tuesday 12 April 2022 the Metropolitan Church distributed 300 'love packages' with food, meat and basic necessities for the beneficiaries of the four community shops on the island in Central, North and South Corfu.
The effort was supported, amongst others, by the Vatopedi Monastery that provided chickens every month for the food kitchens and community shops, as well as food offered regularly and cheese for these days.
