Your Gifts, Serving Neighbors in Need in Southern Ohio

Your donations to ECSF’s annual fund go entirely into grants to Episcopal churches responding to critical needs across Southern Ohio. Small sums have a powerful impact in showing God’s love. Here is JUST PART of what your donation will help give neighbors in need in 2009:

• at least 25,000 boxes of free food, plus rental, utility, and prescription aid
• 40,000 nourishing meals
• shelter for 400 homeless families while they rebuild their lives
• tutoring for almost 600 children; literacy, GED, and job coaching for hundreds of adults
