If you can access this page, you'll see that the Christmas Stocking project of the OCA is now reaching out to those children in Georgia (not OUR Georgia, but the Republic of Georgia) this year. The stocking project has children from each parish in the OCA find a way to collect funds by the end of October (this year's deadline) to ensure that children in Russia (Beslan) and Georgia get SOMETHING for Christmas this year. Normally, it's what fits into a shoebox - fun stuff, possibly a religious icon or something or other and a gift and candy.
When JP gets home tonight, I'm letting him in on this project. $5 per 'stocking' - per kid. Not a bad deal, and you can help someone out. Too bad they don't have something more local - hmmm. Perhaps they will at the local Pregnancy/women's shelter?
