Philoptochos is the women’s philanthropic society of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. We welcome new members to join our ministry, which is proud and humbled to help anyone who may need the help of the Church through our fundraising efforts. The members of Philoptochos are dedicated parishioners who offer countless hours to the philanthropic, humanitarian and Christian mission of the Church.
Our primary aim is to promote the Church’s traditions, doctrines and cannons through a variety of charitable and philanthropic activities.
Our outreach includes supporting the Midwest Veterans Closet, which serves retired and active military families in need, as well as homeless children in several Lake County schools through our Operation Classroom program.
We are always seeking new ideas to lend a helping hand to our less-fortunate neighbors. If you are interested in helping or joining our St. Demetrios chapter of the Ladies Philoptochos Society, please contact us at Philoptochos@SaintDemetrioslibertyville.com.
