Massive flooding is sweeping through Louisiana and the surrounding Gulf Coast area and the government has officially declared it a disaster zone. Over two feet of rain have fallen, more than 30,000 people have been evacuated from their homes, and 13 people have died. You are invited to make an emergency gift to Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD)  at www.episcopalrelief.org/us-disaster-fund-page to help them aid in the relief efforts. Your donation will help to provide food, basic supplies, emergency housing, building materials, and more to the affected areas right away.
