Diocesan news - PWRDF COVID-19 Update

- HelpAge Canada, delivering food and medicine and other supports to vulnerable seniors across

How can you support PWRDF at this time?
First, we ask for your prayers for the work of PWRDF and for our partners. All are welcome to join our weekly Praying with PWRDF on Zoom every Thursday at 1 p.m. ET. We would be very encouraged should you be able to offer a reflection during this time of prayer with supporters from across Canada and often around the world. Please contact Suzanne should this be possible.
Of course, financial support is very important to continue our work. Without churches being able to collect
weekly offerings for PWRDF or hold fundraising events, we are asking donors to give to us directly via our
online donation platform. We are grateful for those who have been able to continue supporting PWRDF
during this difficult time, and particularly to those who have committed to becoming a monthly donor. There
are many Canadian Anglicans who support PWRDF and our partners, for which we are grateful. PWRDF as an
organization has been accredited by Imagine Canada for good governance, financial controls and overall
efficiency and effectiveness. In 2019, PWRDF was recognized by Charity Intelligence and Maclean’s
Thanks to eveyone who supports the work of PWRDF!
