Army Park at Goudi has been transformed into a huge picnic site with tables, open-air spits and volunteers present to feed socially weak groups to ensure that these people can enjoy an Easter meal. The event, organized by the Ministry of Defense, offers 1,500 goats, 200 lambs, 100 kokoretsi (skewered intestines) to vulnerable groups who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford the Easter meal. Wine is plentiful and the outdoor feast is ready to welcome guests in the spirit of Easter.

Defense Ministry sources told Proto Thema that there is enough food to feed 2,500-3,000 people, whereas the wine is courtesy of donations made by citizens who wanted to contribute to the meal for those who are homeless or low-income earners.

Entertainment will be courtesy of the municipal bands who will entertain people facing economic difficulties.

Defense Minister Panos Kammenos will attend the festivities at around noon, whereas Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is also expected to attend the festivities.
