RESPONDING TO RECENT HURRICANES
Click Here for Updated News & Guidance from Our Diocese
Please continue to check the “Ways to Help with Hurricane Relief Efforts“ webpage at the link above for updates and new information on ways you can help. This page is being updated regularly and includes links for prayer, giving, and other ways to help.
Prayer: Those in affected regions are overwhelmed and exhausted. They need your ongoing prayers. Episcopal Relief & Development offers prayer resources that may be helpful.
Financial Gifts: Having financial resources to respond is one of the most critical needs. Today, the best way to help is to provide responding agencies with the financial resources they need. We encourage donations to the seven affected dioceses in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, the Gulf Coast, and Florida; Episcopal Relief & Development; and the American Red Cross. Links to all of these organizations are provided on the diocese’s hurricane relief page.
Feed and Be Fed—Corner Market and One Step Further Food Pantry
Saturdays, 8 AM – 12 noon, on the corner of W. Market and Kensington Streets
Worldwide, outdoor markets have flourished during the pandemic. That has certainly been the case here in Greensboro. Since moving to our parking lot, the Corner Market has welcomed new vendors and customers. The relocation could not have gone better, and the market is providing a connection point that’s open to everyone in our community, a connection that is so vital for many of us during this time—and all the time. Follow the Market’s Facebook page, or subscribe to the newsletter on their website for the weekly list of vendors.
This food pantry, started at St. Andrew’s, now is housed at Definition Church in Greensboro (1806 Merritt Dr., in the building behind the main building) and St. Stephen AME Zion Church in High Point (1012 Leonard Ave.). The pantry needs volunteers for a variety of tasks including deliveries and making phone calls (which can be done from home). If you can help, please contact the director, Susan Cox, at scox@onestepfurther.com.
