Working on behalf of Episcopalians, Episcopal Relief and Development partners with local communities and churches within the Anglican Communion to provide emergency assistance and find long-term solutions to issues such as hunger, poverty, and disease.

You can be a part of this ministry.

Episcopal Relief and Development is offering you a new opportunity to respond to human suffering in the world.

ERD has partnered with Pura Vida Coffee to offer Bishops Blend, a premium line of dark roasted coffees from Central America, Ethiopia and Indonesia.  The Bishops Blend coffee project is an exciting way for you to make a difference.  It combines great taste and a commitment to fair trade with ERD’s ministry of improving lives around the world.

When you buy Bishops Blend, you help further ERD’s mission of responding to the needs of the poor, hungry, homeless, and sick. 

Your purchase of Bishops Blend provides ERD with critical funds to support its work in the world. 

Your purchase helps… 

• disadvantaged women find jobs and support their children
• communities rebuild after an earthquake
• orphans receive education, care, and counseling

... and much more!

In addition to helping ERD reach people in need, Bishops Blend is certified Fair Trade, organic, and shade grown.  This means that coffee farmers are paid a fair living wage and gain access to affordable credit. 

So, by purchasing Bishops Blend, you also help small farmers build better lives for themselves and their families.

With Bishops Blend, you can enjoy freshly roasted, premium quality coffee and help ERD make a difference in lives around the world.
