Fall 2010
KAIR, Keys Area Interdenominational Resource, supported by Episcopal Charities
FRANK'S STORY*
It's hard for me, having use of only one leg. I need a walker to get around, but I can't just sit there. I have to take care of my aunt Sara. She's 88 years old and there's no one else. I don't know what we would do without the help we get from KAIR, Keys Area Interdenominational Resource, supported by Episcopal Charities. They give us food we need so we're not hungry. But I know how much we count on them for a lot of things. And when my mattress was so worn out I couldn't even get a good night's sleep, they got me a new one. They even helped find me a clean, decent place to live. I'd be on the street without them, I know it. I want to thank everyone who makes life good for Aunt Sara and me. Thank you so much.

It is a troubling fact that 1 in 6 people suffer from hunger. In these times, we know you carefully evaluate where your charitable gifts will have the most impact. In South Florida, South Florida Episcopal Charities funds 41 outreach programs that meet the most basic human needs. We support soup kitchens and food pantries, after school programs and senior services in six counties from urban to rural neighborhoods. That is why your gift to Episcopal Charities is more important than ever. Even small gifts can make a huge difference. Won't you help?
