Responding to Hurricane Harvey

There are several ways you can help (from Episcopal Relief & Development):
  • Sign for Ready to Serve to receive information about upcoming volunteer opportunities. The Ready to Serve database will be shared with leadership in the impacted areas once they're ready to begin taking volunteers.
     
  • Please don't send food, clothing or other items to the affected area. Affected dioceses have limited or no capacity to receive, store or distribute goods. It is more efficient and better for the local economy to make a donation. Click here for more about why cash donations are more efficient than goods donations.
     
  • Consider donating to the Episcopal Relief & Development's Hurricane Harvey fund in lieu of goods donations to support impacted dioceses as they meet the needs of their most vulnerable neighbors after this event.
[Other places to give include: Humane Society of the US (Disaster Relief Fund) and the Texas Diaper Bank (Disaster Relief) or
