Do You Know…
- Since 1952 the mission of Episcopal Charities has been to share God’s love throughout Rhode Island by providing grants to ministries and nonprofit agencies whose efforts help our neighbors in need.
- 100% of your donation to Episcopal Charities go directly to help those in need. A fund established to support Episcopal Charities pays for all our administrative costs.
- Your gifts go directly to ministries and non-profit agencies that serve our neighbors focusing on meeting basic human needs – food, shelter, healthcare – for at-risk children and seniors.
- Gifts to Charities NOW provide small emergency grants that provide quick support to feeding ministries in our churches and nonprofit agencies.
- Gifts to our Charities Annual Fund provide sustaining support for nonprofit agencies who work with our churches to meet needs in their local communities.
- Your gift to either fund supports community and church-based food pantries, community meal sites and organizations that feed at-risk people as part of a wider program.
- Your gift provides support for newly arrived immigrant children and their families who are beginning new lives in Rhode Island.
- Your gift supports student food pantries at the University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College to provide for students who are food insecure.
- Your contribution provides health care for at-risk Rhode Islanders who have no other way to receive it.
- Your donation funds agencies which work with children who have been abused, seniors who need counseling, and children who have lost a parent.
- Your gift provides seniors with transportation to doctors, daily wellness checks and meals delivered to the homebound.
- Your support goes to diocesan ministries – ECC youth programs, City Camp, St. George’s Hispanic Ministry, and Campus Ministry at URI – that would not be happening without your help!
YOUR gift to Episcopal Charities does all these things and more: it shares the love of God with our neighbors in need throughout Rhode Island.
