This is a live in person gift auction featuring over 100 prizes. 

The Ladies Philoptochos Society of Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church urgently needs your help to continue our philanthropic efforts. Your company may be able to assist in a few important ways; through your donation we can provide food, clothing, toiletries, household items, school supplies, toys, backpacks, books, financial aid as well as moral support. This is in addition to our commitment to help needy and financially distressed families, as well as the homeless in our community.

Currently we are collecting items for our Ladies Philoptochos Society of Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church Gift Auction, on Friday May 10, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. This well-established philanthropic event is held by a dedicated group of volunteers. The Ladies Philoptochos Society and the church’s mission is to help those in need no matter race or creed.

Our goal for this auction is to raise a total of at least $10,000 to expand our food pantry, Secret Santa Toy Drive, and Feed the Hungry ministry. The expected attendance is 250 or more, which provides excellent exposure to the local community. This opportunity provides your company with a diverse audience to highlight your products and generosity. Please mail any donations directly to the church’s address noted above ATTN: Donna Pappas

We kindly request donated gift cards, gift baskets, event tickets, or merchandise for this event. We are happy to accept any item in good condition, returned items, or out of box items to use in gift baskets. Financial contributions are also accepted. Please mail any donations by 4/1/2024.
