Letter from Metropolis of New Jersey Philoptochos President Eleni Constantinides
Your Grace Bishop Apostolos,
Very Reverend Father Christoforos Oikonomidis,
My dear sisters in Christ,
We are seeing on the news the horrible things that are happening to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. The number of refugees and the victims of this unprovoked and merciless war are increasing each day. Many of you contacted me and asked if Philoptochos is doing anything to help the people of Ukraine. The National Philoptochos Executive Board approved last night that $10,000.00 be sent immediately to IOCC who are already in the area and are purchasing and distributing the most basic items to the people affected by this crisis.
Please be generous with your support. It is critical that we concentrate our efforts on aiding the people of Ukraine.
Please make your checks payable to Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society, Inc., earmark them: "National Philoptochos Ukraine Relief Fund" and mail them to National Philoptochos Society at: 126 East 37th Street New York, NY 10016. You can also donate online at: https://ppay.co/G-w6g6DcoT0
Please continue to pray for those who are still in Ukraine and fighting to defend their country, for those who have perished and for those who are trying to find safety elsewhere.
I know that our Metropolis will show its love, support and generosity in a great way. We always do and for this I am immensely grateful to all of you.
Thank you,
God bless you.
Eleni Constantinides, President
Metropolis of New Jersey Philoptochos
