AAC Launches California Wildfire Relief Fund

Beloved in Christ,

As you know, Southern California has been devastated by wildfires. These fires have forced nearly one million people from their homes and continue to rage throughout Southern California. Estimates put the damage into the billions of dollars as thousands have lost their homes. Relief efforts are underway, and the AAC has joined those efforts through the creation of a "California Wildfire Relief" fund. We will be coordinating with AAC chapters and our Common Cause Partners to distribute funds on the local level in the Southern California region.

We encourage your participation in this important work.  You may make a contribution in three ways:

1.  Mail your contribution to:

     The American Anglican Council
     2296 Henderson Mill Road, NE, Suite 406
     Atlanta, GA  30345

2.  Make a secure financial contribution online. (Select "California Wildfire Relief" as the Donor Designation.)

3.  Call the AAC to make a secure credit card contribution over the phone toll free at 1-800-914-2000.  

In all cases, please designate your contribution as “California Wildfire Relief".

We at the AAC mourn with those who have lost loved ones and/or property and continue to pray that God would comfort and draw each hurting person and family to Himself during this difficult time. Please keep all those affected by these fires in your prayers.

Blessings and Peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

Bishop-elect David C. Anderson
President and CEO, American Anglican Council
