St. George Greek Orthodox Church will hold a special service for the victims of the devastating wildfires in southwestern Greece at 10:15 a.m. tomorrow at the church on Route 28 in Centerville. The fires, which started last week and are still smoldering, have killed 64 people and burned 454,000 acres of land. A special collection for money to be sent to the affected areas will be included in the service.
The local church will begin this week to raise funds and gather clothing for the victims, said Father Peter Giannakopoulos. His church is interested in raising money for the people affected by the fires and to help replant the charred land, he said.
To learn more about how to donate, call the church at 508-775-3045.
