COVID-19 Relief + Matching Grants
An emergency fund has been established to support parish ministries through Episcopal Communities Ministries and individual contributions will be matched by the William Cooper Procter Fund. Every dollar donated to the COVID-19 Relief Fund will be matched, dollar for dollar.
Your donation doubles its impact!
Thank you very much for your continued support of this important ministry to the homeless community. We are grateful.

Thank you so much for your email. This funding is going to one heroic cause in our community, and the reaction of the organizers can best be summed up by sharing the text of an email I received from one of the board members:
I am just reading this email! HALLELUIA, HALLELUIA and HALLELUIA again!
Wishing you health, safety, and peace in uncertain times.

Thank you so much! This is great news, a real blessing as we work feverishly to get food and other resources to the many families who look to us at this time.
Please let the committee know how grateful we are for the work of the Diocese and support of our program. Today we were able to take “Powerpacks” of food to many families, aided by some of the students in the Learning Club who happily distributed them to neighbors in need.

On behalf of the wardens, clerk and treasurer of St. Paul’s and all of those whom we feed during our monthly Community Dinners we want to say THANK YOU for awarding us this grant – without it we may not be able to be the beacon of hope for those less fortunate in our area.
Please continue to pray for us and be assured of our prayers for you and your ministry!
