	<title>Support a Special Tray Collection for College Student Sunday on August 23, 2026</title>

	<description><![CDATA[ BROOKLINE, MA [Orthodox Christian Fellowship] --  Move-in day is coming for thousands of Orthodox Christian students, and with it, a question many of them are quietly asking: where will I find my people here? A dorm room can be unpacked in an afternoon. Finding a church home in a new city often takes much longer, if a student even knows where to look.<BR><BR>

Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is there to meet students during this pivotal time. With a presence on more than 200 campuses across the United States and Canada, OCF helps students stay rooted in their faith through local chapters, retreats, and full-time staff serving through the Campus Missionary Initiative, which now includes missionaries at Texas A&M University, Penn State, and the Georgia Tech/Emory area. ]]></description>
