End of Year Donations
DonateAs 2010 comes to a close and you know faithful members that are looking to help the ministry of the Church and at the same time save Tax Dollars, ask them to consider making a significant tax deductible donation to our efforts to reduce substance use and abuse amongst Orthodox Youth. 

Our Archdiocese Youth Department's "Orthodox Christian Coalition for Healthy Youth" is especially in need of contributions to continue our work.  This past year we made significant progress - However, in order to maintain and grow that progress we need donations to allow us to continue this work.

Ask your faithful members, that have the means, to consider making a year end tax deductible contribution to this ministry.

Donations may be mailed to:
Orthodox Christian Coalition for Healthy Youth
