After a month of being closed the OADW is open aga After a month of being closed the OADW is open again! We can now continue with our distribution to women and children. Our volunteer team is looking forward to welcoming back the refugees and asylum seekers here in Chios to our free shop 💙
Hello from the Offene Arme Warehouse 👋 Sadly o Hello from the Offene Arme Warehouse 👋 Sadly our free shop had to temporarily close 3 weeks ago due to government restrictions. While the shop has been closed our amazing volunteers have been working very hard at our warehouse, sorting donations and preparing for when the OADW reopens. We are so grateful to all our volunteers and supporters ❤️❤️❤️
As a team we continue to go to Vial camp three tim As a team we continue to go to Vial camp three times a week to clean in the jungle area. Yesterday our team was there and focused on cleaning one of the fields near the skip. The photos show what the field looked like before, during and after.
And we’re back! Two weeks ago we finished our wi And we’re back! Two weeks ago we finished our winter distribution and in those two weeks our team of volunteers has worked very hard to prepare for the reopening of the OADW today. This distribution is for women and children only - with a focus on providing underwear, bras and beauty products for the women alongside our usual supply of clothing, hygiene items, diapers, toys and school supplies. Several changes have been made to the OADW, including two changing rooms and a feedback form. We are so excited to have people back in the shop for the first time since November! We were able to open the shop under the “click-in” system, which allows for four adults to be in the shop at any one time. We look forward to welcoming all the women and children into our shop in the coming weeks ❤️
It’s been just over a week since our wonderful t It’s been just over a week since our wonderful team officially finished the winter distribution at the OADW! It took four and a half months to finish this distribution due to lockdown restrictions. During this time we also had to adapt to the click-away system that was introduced by the government. But we got there in the end and we are so grateful to all our volunteers and supporters ❤️❤️❤️ In total we distributed to 3756 refugees and asylum seekers here in Chios.
When you’re a parent it’s never easy to move a When you’re a parent it’s never easy to move around with younger children and it’s made even harder for those living in Vial due to the conditions there and the distances they have to travel. This is why we’ve recently been distributing strollers to parents in camp, so that they can move around easier. Today we saw this family using one of the strollers we had donated. They were also dressed head to toe in clothing that they had picked up from the OADW which put a smile on our faces ☺️
We believe that education is one of the most impor We believe that education is one of the most important things and we believe it should be freely available to every child around the world. We want to do what we can to support children attending school here in Chios. We recently donated school bags and supplies through ARSIS for some children who are starting school today in Chios Town. It makes us so happy to see these children going to school!! As Malala Yousafzai said: “Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.”
A story with a happy ending to start the week off A story with a happy ending to start the week off on a positive note! On Saturday we were at Vial camp cleaning around the jungle area. After returning to our warehouse we realised that we had lost one of the shovels we normally use when cleaning. We did not expect to find it again but today the lost shovel was returned to us! Two members of our team were visiting Vial today when a woman approached them and started miming to explain that she had the shovel. She took them to her tent to show that she had found the shovel and kept it safe until we returned to Vial so she could give it back to our team. This may not seem like a big deal - it was “only” a shovel after all! But we’re so thankful to this woman, and her actions were a wonderful reminder of the kindness and thoughtfulness that exists in this world but is so often overlooked.
We just want to take this opportunity to wish you We just want to take this opportunity to wish you the happiest of holidays!! However you are choosing to celebrate this year, we wish you all the best and are sending love, joy and peace your way. We want to say a huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers, incredible donors, and awesome organisations and individuals who have supported us this year. We know this year has been tough for everyone but we are so grateful and appreciative of the different ways everyone has shown up to help. As we reflect on this year and look forward to the next, we are reminded of the importance of solidarity, empathy and justice in these challenging times. Our hope is that one day we will not exist as an organisation because every refugee and asylum seeker is treated with kindness and dignity. Until such a day, we will be here with open arms. And we cannot do that without your help, so once again - thank you!
Our amazing volunteers! We are very happy to sha Our amazing volunteers! We are very happy to share a picture of our wonderful team that has worked incrediblly hard during lockdown.

This has been a massive project and our team has worked very hard to make this happen despite the challenging circumstances.
The OADW is closed Because Vial went into lock do The OADW is closed Because Vial went into lock down we regret to announce that the Offene Arme Distribution Warehouse will be closed until the lock down is lifted, or we can find a safe and dignified way to distribute. We will continue our work in the warehouse and prepare for an efficient distribution as soon as the OADW reopens. We truly hope that we will soon be able to serve those living in Chios again. A big thank you to all our donors and people who keep on supporting us during this difficult time!

At our apartment activities project, we facilitate At our apartment activities project, we facilitate creative projects and games to provide a space for residents to socialise and express themselves. This week, a man joined us and drew the above image - he told us that the darkness represents all the stress and hardships he has faced and still faces, and the candle represents our team, who provide a break from an often boring routine, and show our support for those seeking asylum in Chios. We have this image displayed in our warehouse, as a reminder to all of us that our work is meaningful and us being here is so important to those we serve 💙
Outgoing donations! We recently gave out 207 wome Outgoing donations! We recently gave out 207 women shoes, 133 unisex shoes and 141 children shoes to Pampiraiki vWarehouse in Athens who will distribute them to different organisations.

Our volunteers have been working hard to thoroughly sort and size all the outgoing items which is indispensable for the further distribution. So, a big thank you to our amazing volunteers, donors and supporters!

Vial Cleaning! Our team returned to Vial cleaning Vial Cleaning! Our team returned to Vial cleaning for the first time since lockdown. There had been a very large build up in rubbish at the camp during the lockdown. Now Vial is out of lockdown we are able to return to our cleaning project. Our team will go once a week to clean the fields that surround the official camp boundaries. Last Saturday our amazing volunteers did an incredible job to clear one of the fields that has a busy pathway running next to it.
The Open Arms Distribution Warehouse! We had our The Open Arms Distribution Warehouse! We had our first week of the winter distribution at the OADW. It was a hugely successful week where we served 850 customers, who took a total of 11,465 items! The number of customers was far more than we were expecting but our incredible volunteers adapted to manage the numbers and continue to provide a good service. We will be postponing the distribution for one week. This is due to the huge numbers of people we served! We will use this time to sort incoming stock, to ensure we have the best quality items and change our appointments system to allow a more manageable flow of customers according to our incoming stock. It has been a long week for our volunteers who worked really hard! So a huge thank you to all of our volunteers, as well as our donors and supporters who have helped make all of this happen. We are excited to reopen in one week to continue to winter distribution 💜
Apartment activities! Our team continues to atten Apartment activities! Our team continues to attend apartment activities three times a week.
