My Brother's Keeper celebrates 20 years of delivering Christ's Love and Hope
In March of 1988, Jim and Terry Orcutt began the work of My Brother's Keeper in the cellar of their rented home. Twenty years and 80,000 deliveries later, My Brother's Keeper has become a thriving community of individuals dedicated to bringing the Love and Hope of Jesus Christ to those we serve.
To commemorate this twenty-year milestone, we will be honoring our founders, Jim and Terry Orcutt, with our prestigious Life in Christ Award and we will be celebrating all God has accomplished through us, as a community, over the last two decades.
Since our humble beginnings, My Brother's Keeper has:
- Made more than 80,000 deliveries of furniture, food, and Christmas gifts to families in their greatest times of need, all in Christ’s name
- Given away more than 15,000 crucifixes, a powerful symbol of Christ’s Love and Hope
- Grown into a Christian community which directly involves more than 2,000 volunteers each year
- Shared the joy of Christian service with more than 1,000 high school and college students, ‘tomorrow’s leaders’
Our 20th Anniversary Celebration will honor Jim and Terry’s twenty years of leadership, dedication, and volunteer service while helping our vision for the next twenty years become a reality.
The celebration will be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 from 6:00 to 9:00PM at the Marriott Hotel, Quincy. Tickets are $100 and must be purchased in advance.

"One Hundred Lovely Ladies"
Annual Fundraiser
On Thursday, March 13, almost 200 women gathered at Thorny Lea Country Club in Brockton for the annual 100 Lovely Ladies Dinner Benefit with co-founder Jim Orcutt serving as Master of Ceremonies. Jim spoke of the work of My Brother's Keeper and our mission: to bring the Love and Hope of Christ to those we serve. Through his very touching stories of families in need, Jim coveyed the harsh reality faced by many living within our own communities. The dinner was a huge success, raising more than $11,000 for the work of My Brother's Keeper. The beautiful atmosphere, delicious dinner and delightful company were enjoyed by all. We extended our heartfelt gratitude to all the individuals and businesses for their support and for the many women who assisted in planning this wonderful event!
“Another First for My Brother’s Keeper”
Erich Miller Becomes First Executive Director
Acting on a motion put forth by co-founders Jim and Terry Orcutt, the Board of Directors of My Brother’s Keeper has unanimously approved the promotion of Erich Miller to the position of Executive Director, effective January 1, 2008.
Erich, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, will be the ministry’s first Executive Director, just as he was the ministry’s first Holy Cross Associate in 1993 and the ministry’s first paid staff person in 1998.
“I’ve been blessed to be a part of My Brother’s Keeper since its early stages,” said Erich. “I remember when Terry, Jim, and I used to share one small office on Plain Street in Brockton! Fourteen years later, I am sincerely humbled by the great trust our founders and our board are placing in me.”
As Executive Director, Erich will be responsible for overseeing all programs, managing the ministry’s staff, maintaining sound financial practices, and representing My Brother’s Keeper to the public in a strong, positive way. He will be in charge of the daily accomplishment of the ministry’s mission as well as the implementation of its long-term strategic plans.
