Goyans for Giving
Originating in 2024-with the goal of youth community involvement, is the charitable arm of our GOYA program, empowering our youth to serve with compassion and humility. Through hands-on community outreach, we bring the Orthodox spirit of philanthropia to life—feeding the hungry, helping the vulnerable, and spreading Christ’s love in practical ways.
Recent Event: Kountze Commons
Friday, December 27th, 2024
Our GOYAns served at Kountze Commons (2665 Douglas St, Omaha), offering warm meals and kind fellowship to those facing food insecurity. St. John youth participated, showing the strength of our faith through action. The evening concluded with a group dinner—a moment of joy and reflection for all involved.
The Goyans for Giving team will continue actively planning more service-based events through the year, including Christmas meal distribution, and partnering with local food shelters and food pantries.
All youth in the community ages 11–18 are encouraged to get involved, and families are always welcome to support these efforts.
