Live Your Faith! Our Orthodox Christian faith calls for an active love towards the poor and those in need. Earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, mass poverty, hunger, wars... Confronting the world’s problems and helping our neighbors—whether they live in the next house or on another continent—can seem overwhelming. You can make a difference—and International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) can help. IOCC is an Orthodox Christian ministry fighting hunger, responding to disasters, and providing opportunities for people to overcome poverty at home and abroad. For almost twenty years, Orthodox Christians have been turning their faith into action through IOCC in more than 40 countries. Through your gifts, you will be uniting with other Orthodox Christians across the country and the world to show compassion for God’s poor.

Providing Help and Hope to People in Need Throughout the World IOCC was founded in 1992 as the official humanitarian aid agency of the Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA). Since then, it has delivered more than $370 million in relief and development programs in more than 40 countries.
