 Support Hurricane Recovery Efforts
WHAT YOU CAN DO Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Puerto Rico on Sunday as a Category 1 storm and dropped almost 30-inches of rain. The deadly storm left over 1000 people in need of rescue in addition to leaving the entire island without power and made significant financial impact in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. Episcopal Relief & Development is in contact with the affected partners and dioceses as they assess the needs in their communities. We stand ready to assist in the coming days and weeks — and we’re calling on our siblings in Christ for continued support as relief efforts get underway. This storm displaced many, and experts predict several stronger storms still to come this season. Our hearts are with all those living through Hurricane Fiona, a deadly storm in the Caribbean. Episcopal Relief & Development is mobilizing with our partners to provide assistance to those affected by hurricanes. Your donation to the Hurricane Relief Fund will support recovery efforts in places like Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. Read more about the response.
