The St. Irene Philoptochos, with the wonderful support of the St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church parishioners collected warm blankets and cozy socks to deliver to the Union Gospel Mission in Fort Worth. Each month, on the first Wednesday, volunteers make 120 peanut butter and jelly sanchiches and pack 120 sack lunches. Each Sack Lunch includes a pb and jelly sandwich, chips, fruit cup, dessert and a water bottle and a hand written note from the parishioners or Sunday School students.

St. Irene Philoptochos and St. John's parishioners have been preparing these Sack Lunches each month since 2015. We went over the 15,000 mark for sack lunches this past week! Started in 2015 - present.

If you need support, help is available.

Are you overwhelmed with caring for a loved one who is elderly or has a chronic or life-threatening illness or health condition, or who is disabled?

Do you wish you could talk to others who are facing the same caregiving challenges as you?

We will discuss best practices to help caregivers navigate the myriad of diverse and distinct challenges they face including managing the physical needs and cognitive issues faced by their loved ones; balancing family responsibilities; impact of caregiver stress, guilt, frustration, exhaustion, and burnout; family dynamics and decision-making; long-distance and holiday caregiving; financial concerns; and preparing for the future.
