When Tsunami stuck last December, through the generosity of communities in Northwest Arkansas and through the United States, St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church, under the direction of Fr. Leo Michael, raised more than $70,000 for the victims in South India. Now, St. Gabriel’s is reaching out to those affected by the disaster left by Katrina in our own country. 100% of funds collected, will go to help people affected by Hurricane Katrina, as we did in the Tsunami Relief.
St. Gabriel’s, host church for Angel Food Ministries in Springdale, AR, is working through Angel Food Ministry (www.angelfoodministries.com) to deliver food this time, to Mobile, AL and Biloxi, MS. St. Gabriel’s will accept donations that will enable us to order a truck full of food through Angel Food Ministries, to be delivered through our sister church, Church of the Epiphany in Mobile, AL
A $25 donation will buy one unit of food that will feed a family of four for one week. We need 1400 units to fill the truck that will deliver to our church in Mobile, AL, where food will be dispersed to the needy in the Mobile, AL and Biloxi. MS area by September 24th.
By coordinating efforts with Angel Food Ministries, a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief to communities throughout the United States, units of quality groceries purchased for $25 (worth approximately $60) will be donated to those affected by Katrina. All donations are tax deductible.
St. Gabriel’s is part of the United Episcopal Church of North America and our sister church, Church of the Epiphany in Mobile, AL will receive the truckload of food and disperse to the needy in the Mobile, AL/Biloxi, MS area.
Donations accepted immediately. Help us fill the truck!

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. For goodness sakes, they're going to get tired of angel food cake pretty darned quick.
