Prayers and assistance for the people of Haiti Episcopal Relief & Development is in the Diocese of Haiti to both address immediate needs and prepare for long-term rehabilitation work. Your help is critical in providing life-saving services and emergency supplies such as medicine, food and water, as well as long-term support for the country's ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts in the days to come.
As of today, Emmanuel Church has raised over $5,000 to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti. If you’d like to join with the Emmanuel family in responding to this need, you can send a check to the parish office ASAP (9 South Bompart Ave., St. Louis, MO 63119), payable to “Emmanuel Church” and noted “Haiti ERD”. A series of checks from the parish will be sent to ERD over the next several weeks. If you'd like to make an online gift directly to ERD, go to http://www.er-d.org.
