An Anglican Disaster Response Network

“We need to do disaster relief because when someone feels hopeless, we can share God’s love, which gives us hope.”
– Kathryn Lamb, St. Timothy’s Anglican Church, Spring, TX

In the past, ARDF was tasked by the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) to collect resources and to send them on to churches participating in domestic disaster relief in their communities. Now, thanks to a movement across ACNA, we are all thinking bigger, developing a nation-wide network, so that volunteers can learn from one another, share resources, and work together to bring hope to those who have experienced loss after a national disaster.

We are excited to announce this new initiative!
