New York City: Synodal Youth Department to lead Food Drive for Thanksgiving

With the blessing of His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, the Synodal Youth Department is operating a food drive in the parishes of the New York City Deanery of the Eastern American Diocese together with parishes of the Central States Deanery of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA.

The following donations are welcome: canned goods, fruit and vegetable conserves, canned soup, juice, rice, pasta, jam, peanut butter, cookies and crackers, dry cereal, powdered milk, sugar, flour, tea, and coffee. Parishes in the greater New York area have large boxes for donated goods.

Parish communities of the Eastern American Diocese outside of the New York Deanery are encouraged to carry out similar drives to help the needy.
