Twenty-five years of making a difference!
We celebrated our 25th ANNUAL FRUITS OF THE HARVEST (FOTH)
in August, 2022
in August, 2022
FOTH is a festive, themed, fundraising party attended by about 100 people on the patio and in the parish hall. Over 24 years, it has raised $794,466.00 in grants for Outreach ministries. We usually have a catered dinner, silent auction, games, raffles, and music. Some even dress in costumes to match the theme, such as Star Wars, Hawaiian, or Mexico. This event is anticipated by many for fun and fellowship, and it brings the whole congregation together in the spirit of giving to Outreach, something that this parish feels deeply committed to doing as God’s work. Parishioners solicit or give prizes for the silent auction, and they generously donate funds to the event and to the Fund-A-Need.
FOTH 2019
Before Covid, when we last had an in-person event in May 2019, the theme was “New Orleans Jazz, Let the Good Times Roll”, pictured above. It was quite a party. The event netted $46,540.
FOTH 2020
This was a difficult time for all of us as we were being so affected by the pandemic. We decided to pivot to an on-line coffee hour event on two Sundays. An Outreach video was created to show you the incredible and important work the ministries are doing that are supported by your donations.
Our theme was “Coffee or Tea Talk – FOTH 2020 - Reimagined.” It was apparent to everyone that so many people were impacted by a need for food, jobs, and homes. You opened up your hearts and pocketbooks and we gave out a record amount of $93,550 in grants throughout 2020! See the grants in the button below titled “Outreach Grant Recipients. Think of all the people that were helped by the organizations that received these grants.
FOTH 2021
This was planned to be an in-person event but by August the new Delta variant of Covid was on the rise. It was decided to return to an on-line event as we did in 2020. On September 19th and 26th, we had two Zoom events that featured a raffle of gift cards, and our newest Outreach video which you may enjoy below. It is one of the most in-depth ways to see the incredible work that these ministries do.
Our theme was “Hope, Resilience, Gratitude, and Love.” Our parish exhibited all of these traits and their exceptional generosity by donating over $47,620. Check out the disbursement of grants to all our Outreach recipients below.
We thank you Saint Timothy’s! We are strongly dedicated to keep nurturing our commitment to outreach at a time when there is such great need.
