Episcopal Charities 2010
A bright future depends on you
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
Where will
2010 take us?
A bright future
depends on you
2010 Goal: $500,000
These are challenging times. More people than ever before have “broken down” on life’s road – their journey interrupted by economic difficulties and other unprecedented circumstances.
Agencies that help the neey are overwhelmed by the growing demand for services and shrinking resources. They desperately need the money they receive from Episcopal Charities to help maintain their programs.
Last year we were able to help 111 agencies. How much we can do this year depends on you. Please give generously so that the agencies we want to support, and the thousands of people they serve, can be helped along the road with hope for a bright tomorrow.
If the road ahead seems too long, the view on the horizon gives us hope to continue the journey
