THANK YOU FOR PITCHING IN TO HEAL OHIO'S HURTS

Your donation to ECSF equips Episcopal churches to serve neighbors caught in the worst economic crisis in a generation. In September, Southern Ohio Episcopal churches submitted 47 grant requests totaling $166,850 to shelter, restore, nourish and equip neighbors in need in the coming year. Your tax-deductible donation to ECSF’s annual fund will be used entirely for grants awarded in January.

 

Churches add incredible leverage to each dollar you send, by donating space, time, skill, vision, and moral leadership to inspire their communities to pull together in solving local human needs. ECSF grants help these ministries meet rising need and turn the tide.  By October 25, donors had already committed $75,000 for next year’s grants. Your gift moves us closer to the goal of fully funding the deserving projects. Thank you for showing such love for God and neighbor!
