PHILOPTOCHOS FUND
RAISERS GIFT MATCHING AND UNITED WAY PROGRAMS
The Ladies Philoptochos Society
'St. Barbara' asks that our St. George parishioners and friends
consider participating in the following employee/employer programs:
1. Employee Gift Matching
2. United Way
1. Employee Gift Matching:
When you make a charitable donation to the Philoptochos and are
employed by a major corporation with a Gift Matching program,
please ask your employer for a Gift Matching form. Fill in
the employee's section and forward the form to the Philoptochos.
The Philoptochos will complete the form and mail it to the proper
gift matching department. By doing so, your corporations will match
your charitable donation and send the money to the Philoptochos
for their Needy Cases Fund.
2. United Way:
Your United Way payroll deduction may be given to the 'St.
George Needy Cases Fund' which is a Philoptochos fund for helping
those in need. It is very simple. All you have to do is contact
your payroll office and request to have your contribution forwarded
to the St. George Needy Cases Fund. Our United Way Reference
Number is 032224. Many of our parishioners have already
made these arrangements and you, too, may also consider having your
United Way Payroll deduction forwarded to the Needy Cases Fund.
3. Questions and inquiries:
If you have any questions on either Employee Gift Matching or United
Way Donations or require additional information, you may contact
Mary Boulegeris at 908-722-9640.
