Episcopal Relief and Development

We at Christ Church support this ministry with donations.

ERD works for a better future for people struggling with natural and political disaster, entrenched poverty, and disease, while promoting community involvement and education. They are helping communities prepare and recover from climate-influenced disasters.

We at Christ Church are part of that work though our donations. To learn more and to make your donation, go to episcopalrelief.org. To make a donation by mail, send it to Episcopal Relief and Development, P.O. Box 7058, Merrifield VA 22116-7058. By phone, call 1-855-312-4325.

Last year, Episcopal Relief & Development adopted a new strategic plan titled Working Together for Lasting Change, which lays out our goals for the next seven years. By 2030, our aim is to equip 350,000 trusted change agents in a movement to advance social cohesion and resilience for four million people annually around the world. This is an ambitious agenda, but we have no doubt that we are called to think big.

The new strategic plan affirms our core commitments as we advance our work in our priority areas: early childhood development, gender-based violence, climate resilience and disaster response.

ERD is a National Episcopal effort focused on international aid. Click on the images above and below to go to ERD’s website. These links go to the crisis pictured.
