This is an opportunity for St. James to help them in their work. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 30. Please contact Barbara Maraventano: b.maraventano@gmail.com.  
Opportunity to Help Those Effected by Hurricanes in the South USA

Episcopal Relief and Development

 

The severe storms and tornadoes that have overwhelmed five Southern states continue to batter the region.  A new wave of storms came shortly after an earlier cluster that barreled through the Southeast over the weekend of April 16.  Over 300 people have died throughout the South and Southeast and widespread damage to homes and civic infrastructure has been reported.

 
In response to the most recent storms, Episcopal Relief & Development has been in contact with the Episcopal Dioceses of Alabama and Atlanta.  Several churches are involved in immediate relief efforts, including providing temporary shelter and distributing food and other necessities. 
  
Episcopal Relief & Development is also supporting the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina and two congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina as they minister to their communities in the wake of the April 16 storms. 
 
Your help is critical in providing temporary shelter, food assistance, basic household items, pastoral care and comfort for those in desperate need.

 

Please make checks payable to:  

Episcopal Relief & Development/USA Disaster Response Fund

Mail to: PO Box 7058 Merrifield, VA 22116-7058
