From Michigan-
Michigan food banks will get a $200,000
infusion from the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan to help them provide
food to those affected by the coronavirus.
The
donation stemmed from the driving need and "high demand at local food
pantries and soup kitchens," as well as the fact that Michigan is a
place where many cases emerged, Episcopalian officials said Wednesday.
"With
more than a million unemployed in our state, people from all areas of
life: rural communities, suburbs and cities are finding it difficult to
feed their families," said the Rt. Rev. Bonnie A. Perry, who was
recently consecrated as the 11th bishop.
"Hunger is
real and hunger is debilitating," said Perry. "As people of faith, we
want to answer Jesus’ call to 'feed the hungry.' In the Episcopal
Diocese of Michigan, we care about our communities and we act when we
see a need. That’s how we live out our faith."
