As we begin Great and Holy Lent, we would like to thank you again (and again!) for your continued support and generosity for our FEED THE HUNGRY ministry.
In 2025, we were able to sponsor 230 families from various Elementary, Junior High and High Schools in our community. Each family was vetted through the School District and school principals, and gifted discreetly. Attached are some images from Roseville City Schools.
Our hope is to continue providing for families in similar circumstances throughout 2026, beginning with Easter's delivery. Collections for our next Feed the Hungry campaign will run through Pascha; donations can also be made online at https://saintanna.churchcenter.com/giving/to/philoptochos—please select “Philoptochos Feed the Hungry” from the dropdown menu. Almsgiving is especially meaningful during Great Lent, so we aim to gather most of the funds for our program during this time.
With love and gratitude,
Wishing you a blessed Lent,
Sara Jurrens
President
Saint Anna Greek Orthodox Church / Philoptochos
