Volunteers are the
key to recovery and renewal for communities along the East Coast
devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Episcopal Relief and Development and the
Dioceses of NY, New Jersey, Long Island & Easton, MD have set up a
Volunteer Program to help your church participate in that recovery.
The Volunteer Program is structured to provide a deep, meaningful
experience that take volunteers beyond just having a hammer in their
hand to a place of better understanding how service, learning and
reflection can truly transform all involved. Through this opportunity of
community service volunteers have a chance to effect change in their
own lives while serving the vulnerable along the Eastern Seaboard.
We have added a Hurricane Sandy Recovery page
to our website to help the churches of Southern Virginia learn more
about the Volunteer Program and to connect with each other in planning
trips to assist with recovery. If your church is planning to
participate in the program and would like to invite individuals to join
you, we will post your upcoming trip on our website. After you return,
we invite you to share your story and pictures to encourage others to
join in this effort.
