🌳 What is The Giving Tree?

The Giving Tree is the donation engine behind Taste of Greece (TOG). Your gift covers the rising costs of ingredients and supplies so more of every gyro, spanakopita, and slice of tsoureki supports ministry at St. Luke.

Your impact, by the numbers:

Chicken is up 15%; beef is up 30% across our bulk purchases.
We use up to 50 lbs of feta just for salads.
Ingredients for a single batch of sweet bread (tsoureki) are about $400.

When we cover these costs together, the festival yields more for the parish.
