From Michigan-Three Episcopal churches in Metro Detroit have come together to create a $100,000 matching fund with proceeds going to food bank distributors throughout the region.
The
Episcopal Diocese of Michigan in Detroit, All Saints' Episcopal Church
in Pontiac and Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills have
partnered to create the dollar-for-dollar matching fund to support local
food banks "experiencing unprecedented demands that are rapidly
outstripping their supplies," the diocese said in a release.
“This
is a time when we, people of faith, are called to embody our beliefs by
giving away a portion of what we have, we are called to love one
another as God has loved us,” said Bonnie Perry, the newly consecrated
11th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan.
