A huge thank you to all of our volunteers from Boca Raton! Even though we had to battle the rain, your dedication never slowed down. Your hard work made a tremendous difference, and we couldn't have done it without you.

A special thank you to Rob Smith for stepping up, taking charge, helping with the organization, and overseeing the operation to ensure everything ran smoothly despite the challenging weather.

We truly appreciate every volunteer who showed up and gave their time and energy. Great job, everyone! The ARC truly is Blessed!

As summer camp is fast approaching, we’re trying to help take care of two big needs before the busy season begins ❤️

First up: an electric golf cart for our amazing housekeeper, Araceli! Her current cart has faithfully served its time… and then some 😅 It’s been patched up, repaired, revived, and lovingly “encouraged” back to life more times than we can count — but unfortunately, it has officially reached the point where even duct tape, prayers, and good intentions can’t save it anymore 🚫🛺

We’re also in need of a commercial washer and dryer to help keep up with camp laundry during the summer months.

If you or someone you know would be interested in donating either item, or helping us toward these needs, we would be so grateful! We welcome used, does not have to be brand new!

Please contact Marlene at 864-732-1537 for more information.

Thank you for helping us get ready for an incredible summer camp season! ☀️🏕️

We are beyond grateful for the incredible love and support shown to the ARC by so many faithful communities.

A heartfelt thank you to St. Barbara's Philoptochos, Daytona Beach for their generous donation of a brand-new refrigerator, as well as their financial contribution to help support the mission and daily needs of the ARC. Your kindness and generosity are truly a blessing to us all.

We would also like to thank the many parishes and faithful who continue to support the ARC through donations, encouragement, and especially your prayers. Your love strengthens this ministry more than words can express.

A special thank you as well to Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida, for donating a food processor for our kitchen and for organizing volunteers who will be coming to help with improvements around the ARC. Your willingness to serve with both your hands and hearts means so much to our ministry.

May God bless each and every one of you abundantly for your generosity, compassion, and continued support of the ARC and its mission. We are deeply thankful and humbled by your love. 🙏
