The Festival accounts for about 25% of our total operating budget for the Cathedral so it is a critical way for us to pay the bills. It is also the central community gathering we host for the many Greek families in the bay area and for the broader community in the Mission District.
There are many ways you can contribute - you can help prepare food, you can volunteer to work at the festival, you can buy an ad in the festival ad book, or, you can be on one of the festival committees and help us organize the event. Finally a great way to contribute is to make a donation to help underwrite the ingredients we need to make the wonderful dishes we serve the community. Of course you can do all of the above!
Below, is a list of some of the items that we need donated. You can make these donations in-kind, or by funding the purchase of these items. To make a donation, call or email Dean Nicolacakis at 330.283.4986; dean.nicolacakis@annunciation.org, or click here (enter the item you wish to sponsor in the memo field).
All donors will be published in the Herald, on social media and on the screen in the hall during the festival! Please indicate how you would like your name to appear!
