Another is “IOCC”, (International Orthodox Christian Charities) USA division which offers emergency relief and development programs to those in need in the USA , without discrimination, and strengthens the capacity of the Orthodox Church to so respond.

St Basil’s Basileiad – Fr Themi’s Themiaid
In the 4th century, Basil the Great constructed a complex called “Basileiad”; a complex to help the sick, the disabled, the poor & orphans; a Church, structures, guest houses, schools, orphanages & homes for the poor.
St Basil was following Jesus’ parables of the Sheep & Goats in the Gospel of Matthew 25.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty & you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger & you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes & you clothed me, I was sick & you looked after me, I was in prison & you came to visit me.’
Fr Themi continues the Lords work, and we like to call it “Themiaid” – all for the Glory of the Crucified Christ, Jesus of Nazareth.
