Philoptochos Chapter #3014 Evangelismos

The Annunciation Cathedral Philoptochos Chapter:
Making a Difference

We are part of a national network of 25,000 women in Philoptochos Chapters throughout the country who continually seek to extend our kindness to those who need it most. Together, our donations have helped to: support hospitals and organizations that assist children struggling to recover from serious health and medical conditions, rebuild communities ravaged by natural disasters, and feed at-risk seniors and families who have run out of options.

Locally, our Philoptochos Chapter continues to support worthy organizations that serve some of our most vulnerable neighbors including: St. Basil Academy, Hellenic Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Philoxenia House, Women’s Lunch Place, The Dimock Center, and the New England Center and Home for Veterans.
