St. Andrew’s Camp Launches “God Bless the Cooks!” Feast Day Fundraiser

November 7, 2026 · 1 min read

St. Andrew’s Camp invites the faithful and friends of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey to participate in its St. Andrew’s Feast Day Fundraiser, “God Bless the Cooks!”

At St. Andrew’s Camp, every meal begins and ends with prayer. Following the blessing, His Eminence Archbishop Michael expresses his gratitude to the kitchen staff with the familiar words, “God bless the cooks!”

This November, supporters are invited to help spiritually and physically nourish the campers, staff, and volunteers who make the camp's ministry possible.

Everyone who makes a donation during November will receive a special “God Bless the Cooks!” sticker and be entered into a drawing for a kitchen-themed gift basket. The basket includes a stock pot, kitchen accessories, a St. Andrew’s Camp apron, an icon of St. Euphrosynos the Cook, a cookbook, and other gifts.

The drawing will take place on December 5, 2026, with the winner announced that day.

To make a donation, visit givebutter.com/StAndrewsCamp.

Your generosity helps St. Andrew’s Camp continue its mission of nurturing Orthodox Christian faith, fellowship, and community among young people.
