MUNICIPALITY KITCHEN

The Municipality Kitchen provides food items on a regular basis to the Municipality of Agia Paraskevi, where the campus is situated. Also, during Christmas and Easter periods meals are offered to families in need in Aghia Paraskevi (in collaboration with the Municipality of Aghia Paraskevi through the “Municipal Kitchen & Foodbank”).
