George’s Greek Village has always been more than a restaurant — it’s a gathering place, a warm hug of hospitality, and a proud supporter of the Niagara community.

This summer has been one of our busiest, most beautiful, and most meaningful seasons yet, and as we head into back-to-school time, we’re excited to share what’s been happening and what’s coming next.

Giving Back

Supporting Community Care’s Back to School Program

At the heart of George’s Greek Village is a commitment to giving back, and once again, George has proudly supported Community Care of St. Catharines & Thorold — most recently through their incredible Back to School Program. George’s wife, Cheryl, played a key role in spearheading the initiative on behalf of the restaurant.

This annual program ensures that students from JK to Grade 12 start the school year with confidence, comfort, and everything they need to succeed. In 2025 alone, 1,700 kids received support — a powerful reminder of how much this community can accomplish together.

It is important that students return to school with the supplies they need so that their first priority is to participate and learn in class… Our back to school program aims to help ease that burden and help families manage.

George’s Greek Village is honoured to stand behind this mission — because when kids thrive, our whole community thrives.
