FOCUS Atlanta

For over 20 years, FOCUS Atlanta — rooted in the Loaves & Fishes tradition — has served neighbors in need every weekday at 543 Cherokee Ave SE. We provide breakfast, a hot meal, clothing, and connections to medical care and other essential services.

FOCUS Bridgeport

FOCUS Bridgeport brings Orthodox Christians together to serve children and families through community meals and fellowship. What began as a shared vision among local parishes is growing into an active ministry built on hospitality, dignity, and Christ-centered service.

FOCUS Cincinnati

FOCUS Cincinnati gathers neighbors around a shared table, offering hot meals and pantry items to those in need. Rooted in the belief that poverty begins with disconnection, we work to restore community one meal at a time.

FOCUS Cleveland

FOCUS Cleveland has served the homeless and poor of Ohio City since 1977. We operate an emergency shelter, a transitional home, and serve three meals a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.

FOCUS Detroit

FOCUS Detroit is committed to creating a more beautiful Detroit from the inside out — believing that transformation of the heart moves outward into families, neighborhoods, and communities. We serve neighbors through food, clothing, and the power of authentic relationship.

FOCUS Gateway City

FOCUS Gateway City serves the near south side of downtown St. Louis with warm meals, a food pantry, clothing, haircuts, and bus tickets for those in need. We gather neighbors every Sunday and Wednesday through programs like the Apostles Community Kitchen and St. Xenia’s Closet.

FOCUS Houston

FOCUS Houston exists to serve mothers, expectant mothers, and children through the struggles and joys of family life. We envision a community where every mother and child experiences Christ’s unconditional love through compassionate, practical support.

FOCUS Los Angeles

FOCUS Los Angeles serves neighbors in need through twice-monthly food distributions at Saint Nicholas Cathedral and Saint Matthew’s in Torrance. We bring people together around hot meals and pantry items, responding to disconnection with presence and practical care.

FOCUS Minnesota

FOCUS Minnesota offers a clothes closet, Sunday dinners, a food shelf, and daily lunch bag distributions to neighbors in need throughout the week. We welcome anyone who comes through our doors and are always looking for volunteers to join us in service.

FOCUS Orange County

FOCUS Orange County unites Orthodox Christians from across Southern California to serve neighbors through food, clothing, and community support. We believe that serving beside one another — across parishes and jurisdictions — is itself an act of faith.

FOCUS Philadelphia

FOCUS Philadelphia faces the needs of its neighbors together — providing hot meals, clothing, and personal care kits rooted in the Orthodox Christian call to serve. We believe that every person deserves to be met with dignity, compassion, and hope.

FOCUS Phoenix

FOCUS Phoenix responds to poverty and disconnection by gathering neighbors around hot meals and pantry items. United in faith and joined by a desire to serve, we bring Orthodox Christians together to meet the needs of their community.

FOCUS San Francisco

FOCUS San Francisco is a new Center in development, bringing together Orthodox parishes across the Bay Area to serve a city where more than 1 in 8 residents live below the poverty line. Plans include a weekly food pantry and sit-down meals at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.

Bring a FOCUS Center to your city.
