EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT

Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) is a compassionate response of the Episcopal Church to human suffering in the world.

Episcopal Relief and Development:

Provides critical help to people worldwide

Provides relief when disasters hit

Rebuilds after immediate crisis is over

Helps find long-term solutions

ERD is an opportunity to touch lives in the U.S. and around the world.

The caring people of the Diocese of Northern Michigan continue to support ERD, and help make it a successful organization.

A hearty thank you to the Parish Representatives who help publicize the fund and organize an annual in-gathering.
