CCS Distribution Center Ritsona

About
Our Refugee Support Volunteer Program is different from our other programs, in that it is our first program that is focused entirely on emergency humanitarian aid. As a humanitarian response program, our volunteer work with refugees in Greece takes precedence over the usual cultural programming. Our amazing in-country staff will still be on-hand to help you every step of the way, but the focus in Greece will be entirely on service to meet the most pressing needs of residents of refugee camps.
The distribution center at Ritsona currently provides essential services to approximately 750 refugees, the majority of whom have fled the violence of the civil war in Syria. The center is responsible for distributing water and welcome packs (both funded by the International Organization of Migration).
In addition the center provides essential basics for residents on a regular basis, including:
• Clothing & shoes, for men, women and children, monthly on an equitable points system
• Milk, for all children between 1-12 years, pregnant and/or breast feeding mothers, and 1 litre for all other families - twice a week
• Tea & coffee, once a week
• Shampoo, shower gel & other essential hygiene items, once a week
