Our Local Chapter –
THE PHILOPTOCHOS SOCIETY of St. George

Our Local chapter of the Philoptochos society is deeply involved in providing for those who seek the assistance of the Church financially, both members of the Parish as well as people from the local community. It has established a food pantry and offers food to families in need. It has repeatedly come to the aid of families and individuals who had faced a family or personal disaster. Members of the Society visit on a regular basis the shut-ins and those in the hospitals. They provide companionship and share the bulletins and other news of the Parish with them.
