U.S. European Command   

On April 7 and 8, 2016, the U.S. Mission to Greece and the U.S. Army's 409th Contracting Support Brigade (CSB) donated essential humanitarian supplies for migrants and refugees in Greece on behalf of the U.S. Government. Thousands of beds, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, diapers and other necessities were provided to the Hellenic Republic First Reception Service for distribution at sites across Greece. The humanitarian assistance project began earlier this month, when Greek government officials identified the critical need for certain humanitarian items. U.S. Embassy officials then worked with local vendors to find sufficient quantities which could be rapidly delivered.
