Episcopal Relief and Development

Venezuelan Earthquakes

Recent severe earthquakes in Venezuela have had a devastating effect on the country and its people. Episcopal Relief and Development, the international relief and development agency of the Episcopal Church of the United States, is working with local partners to bring aid to the country in the wake of this terrible tragedy. ERD’s disaster team has been in contact with leadership in the Diocese of Venezuela and other impacted communities. In addition to accompanying their local partners on the ground, they have mobilized with their Canadian, New Zealand and Australian counterparts within the Anglican Alliance. Please consider making a donation to support relief efforts in Venezuela here.

Thank you!
