From Connecticut-Connecticut residents are joining in the outpouring of support for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, even as charitable organizations based in the state actively participate in relief efforts.
Donations large and small are coming from churches around the state. The three bishops of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut have contributed $2,500 to Episcopal Relief & Development (www.episcopalrelief.org), a 73-year-old organization with a mission of responding to natural disasters.
The Catholic Church’s Archdiocese of Hartford is also is organizing a special collection among its parishes to assist Catholic Relief Services (crs.org) in its response to the tragedy. Catholic Relief Services, in cooperation with its partners, is providing tens of thousands of families with shelter, essential living supplies and clean water and sanitation.
