GRAB A SHOPPING CART AND HELP OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES!
Go shopping with Episcopal Charities to support enhanced funding for our program partner feeding programs and those programs serving infants and young children. The need is great, the shopping is easy and fun!
Special Designated Weeks of the Year:
We are pleased to designate special weeks of the year in which online donations benefit designated food program partners. Online donations received March 31-April 6, 2013 will be distributed to Bridge to Hope, a program sponsored by St. John's Episcopal Church in Homestead.
Bridge to Hope brings a tangible demonstration of God's love to the community by charitable action. We live out the Matt. 25 commission by providing food for the needy through our Community Kitchen and Food Pantry, where we also offer Baby Supplies, and clothing. Our Community Kitchen serves 1000 meals per month and our Food Pantry averages 500 bags per month.
