Brief History

In March 2012, sensitized by the devastating effects of the economic crisis in Greece for families, institutions and other charity organizations, particularly those for children, a group of volunteers of the Hellenic community of Montreal decided to act and to mobilize the wider Greek community to demonstrate their solidarity towards Greece.

They founded Magic Mission, whose purpose is to support the Greek institutions whose main aim is to help children, from babies to 18 year olds. Our motto of “No child should be left hungry” is the driving force for a constant quest for humanity, love and solidarity with the children of Greece.

From March 2012 to date, Magic Mission has given and continues to give help to more than 45 organizations and institutions throughout Greece. We incessantly send to Greece containers full of food, clothing, medication, toys, baby food and other items that these organizations need.

The work of Magic Mission is now well-known everywhere in Greece. We continually receive letters and e-mails from various institutions that help children, but also from food-banks, orphanages and detention centers. We have helped also areas affected by earthquakes, notably orphanages on the islands of Lefkada and Cephalonia.

Our first mission was to give help to an organization named “A child’s smile”, which was inaugurating a new center in 2012 in old Corinth. Magic Mission sent them kitchenware and electric cookers, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. bought in Greece.

Then, we have collaborated with two organizations in Athens, called “We can” and “Together for the child”, whose aim is to find other organizations of the same kind of support and which are in urgent need of help, and to undertake the necessary verifications to ensure that the help we send reaches the proper destination.

How do we work?

Magic Mission responds quickly to all appeals for help. From Crete to Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace, Dodekanissa, Arcadia, Messinia, Lakonia, Fokida, Lesbos and Samos. We send messages of love and solidarity from the Greeks of Montreal to the motherland. We achieve this, working not alone, but in coordination with the whole of the Greek people of Montreal: individuals, and small and large enterprises who respond to our call for help.

The media of Montreal also help us in this endeavor by publicizing our messages gratis, in newspapers, radio and television programs.

Magic Mission from the time of its founding to date is under the auspices of the Hellenic Congress of Quebec and the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal. Our supporters always receive receipts for tax purposes.
