Trinity Cranford “Clean Water” Fundraiser thru April 2nd

Trinity Episcopal Church,119 Forest Avenue, Cranford, New Jersey is collecting money for the Episcopal Relief & Development “Clean Water” program through April 2, 2017. Water is essential for life. Unfortunately, in many places around the world, the fresh water supply is threatened by various pollutants, climate change and disasters. “Every 15 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease somewhere in the world,” said Marion Necuta, Trinity’s Outreach Committee Chairwoman. “The ERD Clean Water program constructs wells, waters systems, and stations that both reduce the spread of disease while promoting overall community health, well-being, and economic viability,” she continued. Trinity Cranford is collecting monies toward the building of a well somewhere in Zambia, Nicaragua, or the Philippines this year. Donations, made payable to “Episcopal Relief and Development”, can be mailed to Trinity Church, 119 Forest Avenue, Cranford, NJ 07016 or dropped off at the church on Sunday mornings. “Please help us support this gift of life to those in need,” said Mrs. Necuta.
