Philoptochos is YOU and ME working together to make the lives of others better. Check out how YOU and ME helped others just this past month:
-
¨ We raised over $600 for the Aid to Greece & Cyprus fund to help those affected by the fires in Greece.
-
¨ We donated 84 pairs of boys underwear to Covenant House Illinois, a homeless shelter for youth, over the holidays.
-
¨ We donated over 50 personal hygiene kits to The Dreamcatcher Foundation, an organization that combats human trafficking.
-
¨ We collected over 100 toys and made over 20 blankets for the children at UIC Pediatrics.
-
¨ We collected over 40 bags of food for our local food pantry this Christmas time.
-
¨ We gave about $1000 to help two philanthropy cases within and outside of our parish who were in great need of financial assistance.
If you read about one of our initiatives, events, service or plans that sparked your interest, please go to the St. Andrew's Women's Philoptochos website page for more information. It is always fun being together in the service of the Lord!
