Brethren and others can now help Hurricane Katrina survivors and other disaster survivors by donating to the Emergency Disaster Fund on-line at the denominational website www.brethren.org. The website also can now receive donations for other General Board programs.
"Thank you for your generosity that enables the General Board to continue in ministry on your behalf," said Becky Ullom, director of Identity and Relations. She reported that since the on-line donation service went live last Friday afternoon, more than $6,000 has been received on-line for the hurricane relief effort.
The General Board's funding staff is encouraging Brethren to check at their place of employment for information on any "matching donation program" that may be available to employees. Such programs would enlarge the value of a donation to the Emergency Disaster Fund. Contact the funding staff for the appropriate EIN number to validate the General Board's 501C status as a nonprofit organization, call 800-323-8039.
