Charity of the Month

October 2026 Charity of the Month

Our Charity of the Month for October 2026 is International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC).

IOCC, in the spirit of Christ’s love, offers emergency relief and development programs to those in need worldwide, without discrimination, and strengthens the capacity of the Orthodox Church to so respond.

Their vision is that, by God’s grace, IOCC will respond, without discrimination, to those who are suffering and in need, to enable them to continue to improve their own lives and communities and to have means to live with dignity, respect, and hope.

IOCC, the international humanitarian aid and development agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America, aims to develop in Orthodox Christians a commitment to philanthropy and global cooperative involvement in the diaconal work of the Orthodox Church.

Matthew 25:35-36, 40

Charity Collection: How it works. You can add to our parish collection using the buttons on this page, or in the basket at church on Sundays.

All proceeds from contributions to the Charity of the Month will be forwarded 100% to the specified charity or monastery after the end of the month.

Tithely payment option: To help even more, please consider increasing your donation to "cover fees" by using the checkbox in the payment screen, and/or choose the BANK method for lowest fees. Processing fees are 2.75% plus 30 cents per transaction if using credit/debit card or 1.0% plus 30 cents per transaction if you choose a direct bank draft.

Zelle is now the preferred payment option to avoid fees. For more information, please go to sttikhonparker.org/donate
