American Anglican Council Launches Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort

 

 Beloved in Christ,

 

As you know, the Gulf States (particularly Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi) have been devastated by Hurricane Katrina and its after-effects, and the needs for supplies and other relief in that area are great. Relief efforts are underway, and the AAC has joined those efforts through the creation of a "Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort" fund. We will be coordinating with AAC chapters and congregations to distribute funds on the local level in the Gulf Coast region.

 

We encourage your participation in this important work. You may make a contribution in three ways:

 

1. Mail your contribution to:

 

The American Anglican Council

2296 Henderson Mill Road, NE, Suite 406

Atlanta, GA 30345

 

 2. Make a secure financial contribution online at:

       https://www.kintera.org/site/c.ikLUK3MJIpG/b.692031/k.85DE/Contribute_to_Our_Mission/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp?c=ikLUK3MJIpG&b=692031&en=fiLHLUNFJjJOIVOEKhLOJUNDLcLVKfNMLgKPL1OOIgJNL3MOKwH

                                          

(Select “Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort” as the Donor Designation.)

 

3. Call the AAC to make a secure credit card contribution over the phone at toll free at 1-800-914-2000. (Donations by phone will only be taken during the AAC's normal business hours: 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST.)

 

 

In all cases, please designate your contribution as “Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort.”

 

We at the AAC mourn with those who have lost loved ones and/or property and continue to pray that God would comfort and draw each hurting person and family to Himself during this difficult time. Please keep all those affected by Katrina in your prayers during the aftermath of this devastating hurricane.

 

 

 Blessings and Peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

 

The Rev. Canon Ellis E. Brust

AAC Chief Operating Officer/Chaplain to the President
