YAL and Philoptochos Perfect Together! National Philoptochos Convention Concludes with a 4th of July Diakonia Project with YAL in San Diego

San Diego, CA — July 10, 2024—The National Philoptochos Convention culminated in a powerful display of community service and intergenerational collaboration as Philoptochos and Young Adult League (YAL) partnered up to spearhead the Diakonia Project. The recipients of this “syndiakonia” (joint-Diakonia) of YAL and Philoptochos are Your Safe Place and San Diego Rescue Mission, two extraordinary programs in San Diego.

On July 4th, the entire Philoptochos and YAL delegate groups assembled 1500 care packages to support survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, abuse, and individuals experiencing homelessness. This hands-on effort underscored Philoptochos’ commitment to charitable action and nurturing connections with the next generation. Members of Philoptochos expressed a deep sense of mentorship and kinship with the YAL participants, who also set their focus on helping those in need.
