   WHAT IS THE HURON HUNGER FUND?  

The Huron Hunger Fund (HHF/PWRDF) has ministered to people around the world for more than 50 years. In that time HHF/PWRDF has raised millions for emergency and development work amongst Anglicans in th Diocese of Huron, in southwestern Ontario. In 2006 over $300,000.00 was raised. Huron continues to be a leading Diocese in Canada for donations to the Primate=s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF). The envelope program, the May Hunger Fund Sunday, the Diocesan Fall Appeal and the sales of The Three Cantors CDs are our primary venues for donations; Remember relief is a 24-hour need. The strength of HHF/PWRDF is its volunteers and parish representatives who provide leadership and share the operational load. This is why the administration costs are so low. Travel and mailing costs are funded from the Diocesan budget, which we are granted annually at Synod. At the national level the administration costs are 8%, with fund-raising costs of 3%. The gifts of hope we give our brothers and sisters around the world, are not just in dollars, but also in prayer and personal support. We thank the people of Huron for their continued generosity.

 LIFE WITHOUT AIDS  

In 2002, the PWRDF Board of Directors mandated a new HIV/AIDS Initiative called PARTNERSHIP FOR LIFE - for a generation without AIDS. Through this initiative we challenge Canadian Anglicans to pledge their financial support, raise awareness, pray for our development partners and people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and urge our government to be an agent for positive change. Help us meet this challenge! Ask about our DVD available for distribution.

Of the funds raised by HHF/PWRDF, 25% is set aside for emergency relief. In the event of an emergence PWRDF will forward 100% of all designated donations receive (for that specific emergency) directly to the designated area through Action of Churches Together (ACT).

The role of the Parish Representative is to act as the parish contact person for the Diocesan Outreach Committee. The HHF/PWRDF is part of this committee. This vital link provides for the direct distribution of information to the parish and its parishioners.   Remember the HHF/PWRDF is a vital part of our parish ministries and direct contact with the Parish Representative is essential for good communications. Do you know who your Parish Representative is?

 

THE THREE CANTORS  

Since 1996 the Three Cantors (The V. Rev. Peter Wall, the Revs. Bill Cliff and David Pickett and their accompanist Angus Sinclair) have raised more than $700,000.00 for the HHF/PWRDF through their delightful concerts and CD recordings. They have travelled across our Diocese and Canada giving concerts, appearing with CBC radio and Orchestra London, bringing joy and happiness to not only their audiences, but to countless thousands of needy and helpless people in our world. In 2007 a new CD (Encore!) was released.  Please continue to support them in this special Ministry. Take in a concert, check their listings.  Thank you!
