Hellenic Boston Businesses Unite, started with Panayiota’s work as a Parish Council member at The Taxiarchae Church of Watertown, Massachusetts in March 2023. One afternoon, council members received an email asking to help with coffee hour brunch items, as there were no donations that particular Sunday. Panayiota’s fellow Parish Council Members were quick to respond by stating that they themselves would contribute various items for parishioners.
Panayiota had a thought, as she read the compassionate responses of the Council. Why not ask for donations from Greek businesses within the community? Later that day, she reached out to a few Greek business owners explaining the last minute dilemma, while politely asking for their support. Generous donations of “tsourekia” and “spanakopites” were received, and the Parish Council was in turn quite grateful.
