The necessary measures taken to protect public health have led in some cases to increased food surpluses. Boroume, the Greek non-profit organization, whose mission is to reduce food waste and fight malnutrition in Greece, has been called to mitigate this situation. While there are extra quantities of surplus food available, certain food charities had to suspend their operation, especially soup kitchens offering cooked meals, in order to avoid mass gatherings of people. At the same time, municipalities – through their social care units – have been entrusted by the state to provide additional support and relief to their beneficiaries and other vulnerable groups (e.g. aid at home to persons in self-isolation). Therefore, the organisation is directing much of the above mentioned quantities of donated food to municipal social pantries.
