A Year of Abundance: Episcopal Community Services Awards $55,250 to Ministries Across Northern California

Thank you to everyone who gives—every small donation matters. Your support makes it possible for Episcopal Community Services to award grants that strengthen food and well-being ministries, and help communities build bridges with compassion, presence, and hope.

This year, we saw a sizeable jump in the amount of grant requests we received. Many organizations have had their funding cut and are experiencing increased need in their communities. Please consider making a donation today to sustain this work in the future.

This year, because of your collective donations, we awarded $55,250 in grants to support parishes and community partners working to meet these pressing needs—especially for vulnerable neighbors across the Diocese of Northern California.

All in all, a very joyful year!
Betty Harrison-Smith, ECS President
