A Waupaca, Wisconsin church is providing Afghan and Haitian refugees with financial assistance. St.. Mark's Episcopal Church says it raised more than $6,300 for those in need. “We know we have been blessed with so much here in Wisconsin,” said the Rev. Julia Hendrix, rector of St. Mark’s, in a news release. “We believe that whenever someone is in need, as Christians, we have a duty to make sure that they are cared for.”

“The spirit of giving is alive and well at St. Mark’s," added Patricia Pfeifer, senior warden of the church. "We are always looking to help the needy, whether they are here in Wisconsin or world-wide.”

The funds will go to Episcopal Relief and Development and Episcopal Migration Ministry. ERD aims to bring together the generosity of Episcopalians and others with the needs of the world, while EMM assists refugees, educates communities and disperses congregations to advocate for migrant protection and rights, according to the church.
