The Diaconia Social Mission of the Metropolis of Bessarabia was named the organization with the best volunteer management at the 2024 NGO Gala.
The awards ceremony took place on December 4 in Chișinău as part of the NGO Forum “Civil Society for European Integration,” organized by the NGO Council.
“This recognition is due to the involvement of over 1,000 motivated volunteers, particularly from Young Diaconia Chișinău, in the Easter Campaign ‘Table of Joy.’ In 2024, their efforts brought joy and support to thousands of people in need. Over its 15 editions, the ‘Table of Joy’ has become a symbol of generosity and social solidarity,” stated the Diaconia Mission on its website.
