Responding immediately to the needs of the people of Lebanon following the tragic explosion last Tuesday, 3rd of August 2020, Cypriot petroleum company Petrolina is actively supporting the campaign by the Office of the Commissioner for Volunteerism and Non-Governmental Organisation, Mr. Yiannis Giannakis, to collect food so it can be donated to the thousands of people who have been left homeless.

More specifically, as of Friday 7 August 2020, members of the public can donate dry food products, such as cans (of all types), cereals, crackers and rusks, all-purpose flour and baby milk powder, at six Petrolina petrol stations, which are open from 06:00 – 18:00. The Petrolina petrol stations are:
