The Cyprus Red Cross is spreading love this holiday season with its Christmas Love Campaign, helping over two thousand families across Cyprus. This campaign is like a warm hug for those in need — a reminder that no one should be alone during the holidays.
This year, companies and organizations stepped up in a big way. Many businesses generously donated products, filling the “Packages of Love” with everything needed for a festive meal. These moments show that behind the holiday lights, the Cypriot spirit shines bright, ready to help and care.
As always, during today’s press conference celebrating the Organization’s 75 years of service, journalists were more than just observers. They packed boxes with food and essentials, contributing to the “Packages of Love.” It’s a small act but makes a big difference — reminding us of the good old days when people helped each other without hesitation.
This year, support also reaches schools, where staff know which children need help. A school in Nicosia has already asked the Cyprus Red Cross for 50 love boxes, and the request was accepted right away.
Extra care is given to our fellow citizens affected by fires, who will receive more financial aid because healing from such losses takes time — but it happens faster when society stands by you.
With smiles, emotions, and boxes full of gifts, this year’s campaign reminds us that the true spirit of Christmas isn’t in decorations, but in solidarity. The Cyprus Red Cross shows this once again, shining like a beacon of hope for those who need it most.
