The Episcopal Charities Fund is committed to helping change the lives of Rhode Islanders who are in crisis and need. It is a funding agency for social service programs within the Rhode Island Community. Since its founding in 1952, Episcopal Charities has been a link between healers and those in need of healing.When you give to the Episcopal Charities Fund, you join a team of donors, volunteers, agencies, and churches who are working together - caring for the needs of those who are hungry for food and shelter, who thirst for education and a chance for a better life, who seek adequate health care, and who long to live in safety with their families.
