Over the past few years, St. Gregory's has helped to address some of the unmet needs of students in Clarke County Schools' Migrant Program. Thanks to the generosity of St. Gregory's parishioners, we were able to make significant contributions to families by providing backpacks, personal hygiene products and household/laundry cleaning supplies.
Our Epiphany focus this year is on helping to provide after-school care for migrant children who need but cannot afford this program. According to our own Elizabeth Dubberly, Specialist for Clarke County Schools' Migrant Program, "The number one thing we need are sponsors for our after-school program. This is the best way for kids to be safe, entertained, happy and fed while their parents finish working. It is so important that we have committed to pay for it whenever they need it. This costs $3/day/child, and we pay for it out of donations."
Donations can be made online under the existing Giving section of our website here. Be sure to click on the Fund drop-down menu to choose "Outreach" as the recipient of your gift, and if prompted, please include in the memo that this is for the Epiphany Drive. Of course, personal checks can also be sent to the Church, earmarked for this purpose, and made out to St. Gregory the Great Episcopal Church with "Epiphany Drive" in the memo line
