| Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) responds to human suffering around the world. ERD provides emergency assistance after disasters, rebuilds communities, and helps children and families climb out of poverty. ERD’s work around the world addresses the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals by focusing on: food security, primary health care, and emergency relief and rebuilding. The Diocese of Oregon has a strong ERD chapter, which, over the past few years, has organized congregational and individual support for people left homeless and needy by the Southeast Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and other natural and man-made disasters.
