July 8, 2026 · 1 min read

In the spirit of Christian solidarity and giving to fellow human beings, the distribution of parcels of love, with basic necessities, was successfully carried out on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, to our thoroughbred brothers. The action was hosted at the premises of the Anthimei Ecclesiastical Center, in the presence of the General Hierarchal Commissioner of our Holy Diocese, Protopresbyter Konstantinos Kostakis, as well as representatives of MASOUTIS supermarkets.

At the beginning of the distribution, Father Konstantinos Kostakis conveyed the warm thanks of His Eminence Metropolitan of Alexandroupolis, Mr. Anthimos. His Eminence expressed the gratitude of the local Church to His Beatitude the Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, Mr. Hieronymus II, for his continuous paternal care and his undivided support for the charitable work of our Metropolis.

At the same time, he addressed warm thanks to the MASOUTIS supermarkets for the generous offer of food, as well as to the charitable NGO of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens "APOSTOLI" and its Director, Mr. Kosti Dimtsa, for their continuous and substantial contribution to the relief of our beleaguered fellow citizens.

Спасибо, что рассказали. Хорошо, что «АПОСТОЛИ» и МАСУТИС опять вместе помогли людям. Особенно приятно, что отец Константин передал благодарность от митрополита Анфима лично — видно, что дело поставлено по-человечески.

Спасибо, что поделились. Хорошо, что опять «АПОСТОЛИ» с МАСУТИС вместе собрали пакеты — видно, продукты нормальные, первой необходимости. Отец Константин Кωστάκης молодец, что лично поблагодарил от митрополита Анфима, по-человечески всё сделали.

Good to see the Apostoli and Masoutis teaming up again with proper basics. Father Konstantinos Kostakis passing on the Metropolitan's personal thanks makes it feel properly looked after, not just another handout.

Mark Hall

Good point about the basics — those food parcels from Masoutis always seem practical, not fancy stuff nobody needs. Father Konstantinos has a way of making everyone feel personally cared for, doesn't he? I wonder how many families got helped this round.

Да, продукты действительно нормальные, я в прошлом году такие же получала — крупы, масло, консервы, всё свежее. Отец Константин всегда так душевно говорит, без пафоса. А вы сами в этот раз были на раздаче или только по новости увидели?

Δήμητρα Παπαγεωργίου

Καλά που τα λέει ο π. Κωνσταντίνος Κωστάκης από τον μητροπολίτη Άνθιμο, φαίνεται η συνέχεια. Τα δεμάτια από τη ΜΑΣΟΥΤΗΣ και την ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΗ πάντα έχουν τα βασικά, όπως ρύζι και λάδι που χρειάζονται οι οικογένειες. Ελπίζω να έφτασαν σε πολλούς φέτος.

Да, крупы и консервы в прошлом году тоже хорошие были, особенно гречка не разваривается. Я в этот раз не пошла, дочь в школе задержалась, но от соседки слышала, что отец Константин опять коротко и по делу всё сказал. А ты в каком году получала, в июле тоже?

Bine că au menționat iar produsele de primă necesitate de la MASOUTIS, știu că anul trecut am luat și eu un pachet cu orez, ulei și conserve care chiar au ținut. Părintele Constantin Kostakis a transmis mulțumirile cum trebuie, fără vorbe mari, așa cum face de obicei. Câți oameni au ajuns să primească de data asta?

Yes, those basic parcels from Masoutis always hit the mark — my daughter picked one up last time and said the rice and oil were exactly what she needed for the week. Father Konstantinos delivering the Metropolitan's thanks in person does make it feel more like real care than a box dropped off. How long has Apostoli been working with our diocese now?

Mark Phillips

Yeah, those Masoutis parcels really hit the basics—rice, oil, pasta, the stuff that actually gets used up. Father Konstantinos does have that personal touch; I saw him chatting with one older lady like she was his own aunt. Wonder if they managed to reach more than last time, with summer costs going up.

Gregory Mitchell

Those Masoutis bags do go fast around here, especially the rice and oil. Father Konstantinos really does treat everyone like family; I remember him sitting with my neighbor Maria last winter when her heater went out. Did you catch how many families came through this time?
