Good Friday Charity 2015
Every year, we receive many applications as part of the GFC, which contain life situations and stories of tragedies of ordinary people. This year was no different. Sharing a few of the stories that help each of us reinforce how our help is making a difference: A child (studying in 1st grade) crosses the road seeing her mother after getting off a school bus and a KSRTC bus hits her and goes over her leg and finally doctors had to amputate her leg, a student gets 96.7% marks, but is unable to continue her education since her parents can’t afford her higher education, Multiple widows living in houses that could collapse any time or having no houses to live in, having to deal with disabled children, losing husband to cancer, having to deal with brain tumor treatment of their children, and many more and the list goes on.
Thanking our Lord for all the blessings he has given us, we continued our tradition of using the Good Friday offertory to help people in need.
To learn more, attached below is the GFC 2015 report.
Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hungry
When a task is huge, the chance that we all might have heard at some point some one saying - 'dont try to solve the world hunger'. Every time I hear it, I have thought, what an excuse. And on the other end of the spectrum, is Mother Teresa's quote.
"If you can't feed a hundred people, feed just one".
Six days a week, that is what keeps volunteers roll their sleeves and cook food at the Caritas of Austin Soup Kitchen for the scores of homeless people.
The volunteers of St. Gregorios Orthodox Church joined hands with the volunteers of Caritas in its fight against hunger by serving at the Soup Kitchen.
