One night in 2011, Xenia Papastavrou was at a restaurant in the Athenian suburb of Chalandri. She noticed how much of the food around her was wasted. Having worked at a food bank in the past, she wondered what happened to all the restaurant's leftover food. A few months later, while images of the breadlines -- or “sisitia” -- in Greece received international attention, Papastavrou, along with Alexandros Theodoridis and Alexia Moatsou, founded Boroume, which means “We can.” Their aim was to become the connecting link between those who had extra food to give away and those who needed it. “At first we started with a few cheese pies that were donated by a small cantina, called Oscar, in the neighborhood of Ayioi Anargiroi,” Theodoridis told HuffPost Greece. “Gradually, things got more organized, and in January 2012 the three of us founded Boroume.” Three years later, they have given approximately two million portions of food to the hungry. Boroume collaborates with more than 800 institutions to connect with those in need.
