Supporting Homeless People with LG !

On the evening of December 19, Ithaca team, together with LG employees, went on an emergency action to support the people living on the streets of Athens.

The harsh winter conditions create precarious living conditions for the homeless population. With this in mind, Ithaca went ahead with a campaign to distribute clothing for the cold, in collaboration with its great supporter, LG.

More specifically, we distributed 60 bags containing blankets, isothermal shirts and leggings, socks, caps and gloves on main streets in the center of Athens.

Through the palliative services of Ithaca, which have as their main purpose the social reintegration of people from vulnerable social groups, we constantly aim to meet needs that improve the daily living of our fellow homeless people.
