***UPDATE 04/05/20***
A HUGE thank-you to all our donors who have helped us reach our fundraising goal for the 2020 Ramadan Food Packs. With your kind donations, over 700 dry food packs have been distributed to vulnerable families.
Our work does not end here though. A large number of families have approached the (unofficial) mosque in Athens looking for help, who in turn directed them to us. Any further funds donated on this page will be used towards supporting these vulnerable and often destitute families.
We will also be using the funds for the following:
Ramadan Family Iftar
Hot food parcels including family portions of rice, chicken curry, vegetable curry, water and dates.
Eid Parcels
These include 1kg meat ,1kg Rice, 1 bag of traditional sweets and bags of sweets for children.
Refugee Helpers
We will be using a small percentage of the funds towards our refugee helpers who have worked tirelessly through the Covid19 lockdown to source, pack and distribute the Ramadan Food packs all whilst fasting.
Medical Emergency Supplies
For refugee and low-income Greek children in pediatric oncology departments in hospitals in Athens. In the past 2 weeks alone, we have purchased over 200 catheters.
Mother and Baby essentials distributions
Providing nappies, wipes and baby formula weekly to mothers. We are also providing extra cleaning supplies during the pandemic.
Shelter
Providing safe accommodation for single mothers and their children so that they are not left homeless.
We once again thank you for your contribution and we pray that it is accepted from us all.
Best,
Goodwill Caravan

Ramadan Food Pack Appeal Update
With the gracious support of all of our donors, we have now been able to distribute more than our initial target of 500 food packs. We have 300 families on our waiting list, of which we have been able to distribute to 150 so far. We will continue to distribute to the final 150 families this week.
None of this would have been able without you all donating and sharing our fundraiser. Your continued support is a lifeline to us as a charity and to all the vulnerable people we support.
As we have now surpassed our expectations, we will be closing this fundraising page on Sunday 3rd May so that we can focus on providing extra support to our beneficiaries during the Covid 19 lockdown.
We are providing extra home hygiene packs and public health awareness to the mothers and children we have in our Shelter Project, as well adding extra hygiene products in our weekly Baby Essential distributions. Our work continues with providing support to the Pediatric oncology departments in Greek hospitals who care for refugee and low-income Greek children. Our UK and Greece based lawyers continue to work on Family reunification as well as Detention release cases.
If you would like to know more about the projects we are working on, please follow us on social media or email us: info@goodwillcaravan.com
Thank you and God bless,

Ramadan Food Pack Distributions have begun
The distribution of Ramadan Food Packs has now begun. This is the fifth year Goodwill Caravan has distributed these packs.
We now have a waiting list of a further 350 refugee families. Many of these families are in remote camps that cannot reach our distribution hub, so we plan to raise enough to transport the aid to them.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support of this campaign. Without generous donors like you, refugee and vulnerable families would be going without this Ramadan.
Please take a moment to share this page with friends and family. Every penny counts!

We still need your help and support to feed ALL the people who have requested help this Ramadan.
Please continue to share our fundraising page with family, friends and loved ones to help us reach our target.
Thank-you and Ramadan Kareem
