The economic crisis has hit the people of Greece hard and The Salvation Army are on the streets helping people where they need it most. The Salvation Army started in Greece just five years ago by Captains Polis Pantelidis and Maria Konti-Galinou they felt called to the streets, to help those most in need. With little help offered at night in Thessaloniki to the rough sleepers the Officer's felt called to do something. They began a soup run, offering hot food, clothing and blankets, soon they were able to offer food parcels to families in need, and also begun the Green Light Project, an outreach project for the sex workers in the red light district. Captain Maria Konti-Galinou will tell you 'we're not doing anything new, we are doing what The Salvation Army has always done' But it's time to move on for Captains Polis Pantelidis and Maria Konti-Galinou. They've recently started the work of The Salvation Army in Athens and the new officers Lieutenants Neofytos Totsios and Anastasia Arpatzi are building on the good work that has been done in Thessaloniki. They've already started Soldiership classes and found a new building with room for offices, a cafe and worship. We hear from the people that have been helped by The Salvation Army.
