Roseland, NJ – February 28 2024 – The Hellenic Relief Foundation (HRF) held a
heartwarming concert on Saturday, February 24th 2024. The event, hosted by the
Greek Orthodox Church of Ss. Nicholas, Constantine and Helen in Roseland, New
Jersey, was a resounding success, drawing a crowd of approximately 250 attendees
and it marked the 12th anniversary since the H.R.F.’s first food distribution on February
25th, 2012.
The evening featured the captivating vocals of Aggeliki Psoni and the energetic
melodies of the Sergiani Greek Music Band. The audience was treated to a delightful
performance, leaving them feeling uplifted and inspired. During the intermission, guests
enjoyed a delicious selection of wine, beer, and appetizers, fostering a warm and
welcoming atmosphere.
This special event was made possible through the generous support of sponsors who
covered all expenses, meaning all proceeds from ticket sales and donations will go
directly towards the purchase and distribution of food for families in Greece.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made this event possible,” said Dr.
Efthymios Daniskas, a member of the Ss. Nicholas, Constantine and Helen community.
“The sponsors, donors, and attendees all played a crucial role in its success. Thanks to
their generosity, approximately 480 families will receive food for their Greek Easter table
this year.”
Stelios Taketzis discussed the initial distribution that took place 12 years ago and
presented a video captured by Anthony Zachariadis during the December 2023
Christmas food delivery event.
The Hellenic Relief Foundation’s dedication to serving those in need continues to inspire
and unite communities. This successful concert serves as a testament to the power of
collective action and the enduring spirit of compassion.
