Your helping hand this Giving Tuesday will bring hope to those who know none and smiles to their faces.

The Syriac Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Martyrs and Orthodox Worker Communities welcome all and offer hospitality, healing, learning, and, most importantly, hope. Hope in solidarity with the poor and the homeless, the disenfranchised and forgotten, those never heard, seen, or even wanted. Serving God by serving the poor and the poorest of the poor, the disenfranchised and marginalized.

The Gospel Christ inspires us and teaches us, "Whatever you do to the least of my people, do you do unto me." If we listen, we hear the call to be open to one another, to give what we have, and to welcome all guests as we would welcome Christ Himself. The monastery is a place of healing, nourishment, learning, and service, where folks respond to each other's needs.

All are welcome to come and taste and see the Orthodox world through the tangible gifts, grace-filled moments, and love of each other. We carry on under the flag of openness to all as we labor under the Christian negotiable stature of unconditional love in service to all —seeing Christ in every face.

This is only possible because of your unceasing prayers and continued support. Please keep all in your prayers and consider even a small donation this Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday, held the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a global movement dedicated to inspiring generosity and community support. Launched in 2012 as a response to consumer-driven events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it has quickly become a powerful day for nonprofits of all sizes to raise awareness, engage donors, and boost fundraising efforts. Your generosity and community support is needed by the monastery to help its projects for the homeless and near homeless.

Your prayers and donation will give hope to many who have no hope and do not think others care about what happens to them.

What we do is very simple: we feed folks. Feed their bodies and feed their souls.

The greatest miracle is not raising the dead, but rather, it is feeding those who are hungry.

We serve all Christ brings to our doors or who He takes us to on the streets.
All set at Christ's table, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, and folks of no faith. And we serve all.

All are welcome. We were the homeless and the near homeless; we were disenfranchised and poor, and we were never seen because no one wanted to see us.
We help individuals and groups advocate for themselves.

We provide essentials like food, clothing and shoes, diapers and toiletries, and, often, a nice hot meal. We help take some of the burdens off your shoulders so that you can use your income to pay your utility bills, rent, and buy food or gas.
We also show the stories of how other folks are making a difference in the lives of their neighbors.

This is a mutual assistance project.
