The Hurricane Katrina disaster continues to unfold in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Episcopal Relief and Development makes it possible to donate to disaster relief via an online donation form.. The images and stories coming out of the area are horrific and the loss of life and property is expected to be huge. You can help by donating either via ERD or directly to the American Red Cross, which expects the Katrina disaster to be its greatest challenge.

Comments are open if you would like to add prayers for the victims of Katrina, and the emergency aid workers and law enforcement personnel who are laboring to assist them.

Episcopal Relief and Development supports children and families who are suffering from disaster, disease and poverty. Our programs save lives today and build hope for the future. Your partnership with us provides emergency assistance and long-term solutions to fight poverty and disease.

Giving online is easy. Just select an ERD fund from the drop-down menu, select your donation amount and method of payment. If you wish to give a donation in honor of a friend or loved-one, fill out the information at the bottom of this page. At your request, we will send an acknowledgement letter to your gift honoree.
