Chris at the Stop and Win just outside Kalloni is great. Trustworthy and can order you anything in bulk.

Recently Image AndCo added me to Facebook. I don't know if this is a good option... Look into it because the Facebook page looks legitimate. They are located on the island. Good luck. Let me know if this works out so I can recommend it. By the looks of it they have boots, blankets, etc. It looks like they deliver but to be safe I'd pick it up.
RE: Donations
I am on the island in Mitilini and want to buy many many shoes to donate. If anyone has done this, can you recommend where to buy, or what a good price...
Jay W. replied:
Nadia S. Baltazzi sorry for the tag but maybe you know about the best places to buy shoes. Athens? Your socks at 60 cents a pair were excellent value and quality.
Negin S. replied:
I wanted better quality too, a friend sent this site but need a shipping address to Lesbos http://www.skroutz.gr/c/1463/andrikes-mpotes-mpotakia.html?utf8=%E2%9C%93&price_min=1&price_max=20&button=

See the Lesvos - shopping locally group. Any shop they recommend is probably also on the volunteer map (www.bit.ly/lesvolmap), but if not, please let me know and I will pin it.

Chinese shop close to Lidl seems to have a lot of shoes. http://www.aegeanshopping.com/lesvos/mytilene/chinese-shop-near-lidl

I bought two big purchases at koutris, and they were awesome. Pricier, but about 40 euro a pair and and got extras thrown in for free each time. I've nearly wiped him out if larger men's sizes, so call first with what you want to order, or go by and explain what you are doing, what the shoes are for, and get a set bulk price with Koutris(he's SO awesome) 2251043203 Aaaaand I know they're pricier, but he significantly discounted each pair, and these are good quality athletic shoes, so they're not so thin and will actually last the winter.
Going on a shopping spree in Metelini today. Best places to buy men's shoes, jeans, sleeping bags, long johns? Any suggestions?
Amy L. replied:
Yep China shop opposite kara Tepe by lidl (as mentioned above)
Angie B. replied:
have you joined the Lesvos - shopping locally FB group? All the info is in there and there's a link to it in the files on this page. The Chinese store opposite Lidl is cheap but only takes cash. There are lots of other reasonably prices shops in Mitillini too. Chinese shop doesn't sell sleeping bags from what I can remember.

I think your friend messaged me--I told her to tell you to get in touch with O Allos Anthropos...whose Greek FB page I can never figure out how to link to. But the link is in the info doc (www.bit.ly/lesvoldoc). They cook around the island, and you could either expand their service on the days they cook, or expand to cook on the days they're *not* cooking. Also tagging Pam Crosbie, who cooks with them a lot. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jorgen I spoke to Ellie at Better Days for Moria today (Thursday) and she said there still was a need, and in particular for men's sizes 40, 41, 42 (but let's not forget those who take a bigger size). Ellie put out an appeal a few days ago when shoe supplies were very low and the response was very positive. Even so BDFM has only three or four days supply assuming current levels of uptake. It's a moving target but right now please don't take shoes off the essential list.
