It’s time to sponsor our Christmas Season food drive. Barrels will be available soon in the Large Hall for your contributions of non-perishable food items through Holy Theophany. Adopt-A-Barrel program allows individuals and organizations to accept responsibility for filling an entire barrel, which can be identified with the name of the adopter or anonymously. How a barrel is filled (economically or lavishly) will be at the discretion of the adopter. Most importantly, they will be filled. If you wish to adopt a barrel, bring in your food donations during church business hours (M-F 9a-2p) or Sundays. In the spirit of Christmas and the tradition of Saint Basil, who was known for his care of the poor and underprivileged, please join us in supporting this very important Christmas project!
