The Metropolis of Pittsburgh Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society’s Daffodil Luncheon is the largest fundraiser that supports our organization.

 

This fundraiser traditionally raises the monies vital to the support of Social Services throughout the Metropolis of Pittsburgh. Our Social Services Fund is the main source of revenue that allows the Philoptochos to fulfill its mission of helping those in need.

 

Revenue from this fund allows us to help financially with things such as, but not limited to:  

 

• Medical Expenses beyond what an individual/family can pay

• Rent and mortgage support to prevent homelessness

• Orthodox Burials

• Support for victims of natural disasters 

 

With the help of contributions from Philoptochos chapters throughout our Metropolis, we have been able to assist many who come to us for assistance that have no other viable means of support. 

 

This year we are committing 2/3 of the profits from our Daffodil Luncheon to Social Services and 1/3 to the “Seminarians of our Future Scholarship Fund.”  Supporting our seminarians is paramount if we want to encourage and assist the men who seek to become our spiritual fathers and embrace the challenges of serving the Church and the needs of Orthodox Christians in the 21st Century.
