Social Services Assistance
If you know of anyone who has been experiencing a hardship and is in need of assistance please reach out to Father Nektarios. Protecting an individual’s identity and situation is critical to our organization. All inquiries, requests for information and other communications concerning these individuals shall remain private and confidential.
Since Philoptochos is accountable to its members and donors, we follow procedures to determine if and how we can help most effectively. These procedures apply to all levels of Philoptochos (National, Metropolis and Individual Chapters). Individuals seeking assistance must complete and sign an Application for Assistance prior to any aid being provided. This application is for our recordkeeping and subject to confidentiality obligations.
