Our St Demetrios Philoptochos is dedicated to helping our parish and the Cleveland community. Come join us and learn more about our efforts.

You define what kind of member you will be. We are always looking for new skills, experiences and personalities-–without them we would not be 26,000 members strong nationwide.

We welcome you with open arms to join us in making a difference. If you can’t make very many meetings, that’s ok, choose the projects you’d like to help with, we will keep you informed by email.
