FREE GYROS
HAMDEN— 3/1/22 — FRESKOS Greek Restaurant in Hamden is holding a fundraiser
to benefit those affected by the current humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. On Thursday, March 10,
2022, Freskos will be offering FREE GYROS, all day, 11am-8pm (one per customer). Freskos
will donate the cost of each gyro to Nova Ukraine, a charitable organization that meets essential
needs of mothers and children.
FRESKOS is grateful to be able to demonstrate the Greek ideal of “filotimo” which,
translated, means “love of honor” or more simply put, “paying it forward.”
There is a large Greek community living in Ukraine (mostly in the southern and eastern
regions of the nation). Ukraine was first settled by the Greeks as early as 500 B.C. The Ukranian
city of Odessa (among others) was founded by ancient Greek colonists. It is also the birthplace of
Filiki Eteria, a secret organization founded in 1814 whose purpose was to overthrow the
Ottoman rule of Greece and establish an independent Greek state.
