NATIVITY FOOD PANTRY Many people have asked if they can help our parishioners in this time of need with food donations. We have decided to collect a few specific items that may be hard to find or may be needed. Suggested pantry items:
Canned soups, cereals, pasta/sauce, Mac and Cheese (the kind that doesn't require milk and butter), Toilet paper, Paper towels, soap.
If you need assistance feel free to reach out to Father Nick, the church office or Parish Council President, Pete Tsaprazis at any time. Your needs will be kept confidential.
The Good Works of Philoptochos is not stopped by the Pandemic - support the work of Philoptochos by sending your stewardship commitment. Please make your $25 check payable to Nativity Philoptochos and write the word "Stewardship" on the memo line. If you chose to mail your Stewardship, send it to the attention of Philoptochos to the church mailing address listed on the inside cover.
Sts. Peter and Paul Outreach Because of the COVID crisis, we are unable to support the Sts. Peter and Paul community as we normally do with a meal, gifts of blankets, clothing and warm winter coats. Please read the attached letter from our Ladies of Philoptochos to learn how we can respond to the needs of the people they serve during this difficult time. We are collecting some items - canned goods, blankets and coats. We will find a way to get them downtown.
The Cheese and Spinach Pita are in! Vessa will contact those who have placed orders.
