From Greece and the rest of Europe to Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, we deliver food to doorsteps, support people through mental stress, run community camps and help children stay in school — standing beside the most vulnerable people in our communities.
Smile Foundation is a community-driven charity providing social assistance to the people who need it most — seniors living alone, low-income families, newcomers, people facing illness or disability, and anyone going through a hard season of life.
Rising grocery and rent costs mean more families than ever are skipping meals or struggling quietly. We believe nobody should have to face that alone. Headquartered in Athens, Greece, we now reach communities in 16 countries across Europe, North America and Oceania. In every country, our local teams and volunteers bring food, care and practical help directly to people's homes and neighbourhoods — adapting every program to the challenges each country faces.
Our approach is simple: listen first, help quickly, and treat every person with dignity. Help is free, confidential and open to everyone who needs it.
Each program is built around one simple idea: meet people where they are, and give them what they need to get back on their feet. Select any program to read the full details — who it helps, what's included and how to get support.

"After my surgery I couldn't get to the store. The driver who brought my groceries every week became a friend I looked forward to seeing."
"The homework club helped my son catch up in math. He now walks into school with his head held high."
"Volunteering at the winter camp showed me how much a hot meal and a kind word can mean to someone."
Our head office is in Athens, Greece. From there, we support local teams that run our programs in cities across North America, Europe and Oceania — each one shaped around the needs of that community.
