Gifts for Life
Episcopal Relief & Development’s Gifts for Life catalog offers a special way to share the joy of giving during the Christmas season. Purchase a gift in honor of a friend or loved one through this unique gift catalog and you’ll give direct support to people in need around the globe. From the insecticide-treated net that will protect a sleeping child from malaria to a flock of chickens that can be a family’s first step toward economic independence, through Gifts for Life you can become part of a community’s long-term solution to alleviating poverty. Visit the ERD website at www.er-d.org/GiftsforLife or request catalogs to be sent to you from Diocesan ERD Coordinators: Linda Hale (halehouse215@embargmail.com) or Nancy Collins-Warner (nancycw@pullman.com)
