Agapi CHARITIES

SHARING CHRIST'S LOVE WITH PEOPLE IN NEED

About Agape Charities

Agape Charities was conceived in 2014 as a means of supporting the charitable works of St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church with human and financial resources.

We exist to heal and bring joy to people in need by sharing God’s love.

When we see a need in our community, we immediately set about determining how we can meet the need.

We volunteer in helping to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, house the homeless, treat the sick, comfort the dying, befriend the downhearted – and we support these efforts both with hands-on efforts and financial support.

We spotlight the problems in our local communities, creating awareness about the charities that are succeeding in reducing and overcoming these problems, and distribute funds to help alleviate these problems.
