Each year, the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America sets aside the Sunday before Thanksgiving to highlight humanitarian relief. Through IOCC’s ministry, Orthodox faithful across the US are serving people in need.
This is your chance to share IOCC’s work—a ministry that represents every Orthodox priest and every Orthodox Christian in the United States today.
Ways to Take Action

Set Up an Information Table: An IOCC information table in your parish narthex or hall is a great way to show your continued support. Contact an Outreach Coordinator (410.243.9820; outreach@iocc.org) to request items like posters, prayer booklets, brochures, icon cards, and magnets.
