Our Mission
The Eastern Orthodox Foundation, (EOF), is a
private, charitable non-profit organization. It's purpose is to follow the
teachings of our Lord when He said, "For I was an hungered, and ye give me
meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave' me drink; I was a stranger, and ye 'took
me in; naked and ye clothed me; I was sick and ye visited me; I was in
prison and ye came unto me." Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have
done it unto one of the least of my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Matthew 25:35 - 39, 40
We do this by the following means:
A. To engage in charitable work for providing aid to the sick and aged, the disabled and handicapped; B. To improve the condition in life of all persons who are disadvantaged, irrespective of race, color, creed or national origin; C. The corporation shall not participate in political campaigns nor attempt to influence legislation by propaganda or otherwise. Upon dissolution of the corporation, all assets then possessed by it shall be distributed to charitable, educational, religious and health agencies. To accomplish these goals EOF offers a variety of services. Although we call our selves a transitional living center, the majority of our people come to us from off the streets and are in need of food, shelter and clothing and other services, designed to help them secure a more permanent living arrangement. Organization ProfileThere are times when circumstances prevent us from being all that we could be; all that is needed is a chance. The Eastern Orthodox Foundation provides the chance, the opportunity, the guidance to discover the potential that each person already possesses. Sometimes hidden by unfortunate circumstances. our potential is unlocked by people whose only goal is to provide understanding and nurturing. The Eastern Orthodox Foundation, or EOF as we are commonly known, is a charitable, non-profit organization located in Indiana, PA. It is called home to some 100 people. The individuals who come to us, seeking help and support, range from the young to the elderly, each of whom has had his or her share of hardships. EOF is dedicated to helping those who are mentally impaired, handicapped, addicted, troubled, or for those who whose events have brought them that they simply need a place to stay. Every day is a new challenge for us, but through the Grace of God, we are able to overcome these obstacles, move forward and keep our hearts and doors open to those who need our help the most. No one is ever turned away. While the Eastern Orthodox Foundation is founded on the values of Orthodox Christianity, the facilities and services are open to everyone, regardless of race, national origin or creed.
