GRASSROOTS 2022 HOLIDAY GIVING
Once again, the St Matthew Parish has given generously to this worth cause. This year, our Grassroots Holiday Gift Card donation totalled $2,640! GRASSROOTS had run out of gift cards for people in need, and our donation allowed them to provide for families on the wait list🙏 Thank you to all who donated!
The Howard County Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center:

The Orthodox Church of St. Matthew has been supporting Grassroots in various capacities for many years:
- Items needed for donation are announced at Liturgy and in the Sunday Bulletin
- Grassroots compiles a Holiday Wish List every fall, and the parish decorates a “Giving Tree” with gifts from the list
