    The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and humanitarian relief.

    There’s a brunch taking place in Corner Brook this weekend to support an agency that responds to natural disasters and conflicts with humanitarian relief to support affected families and communities. The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and humanitarian relief. PWRDF supports projects to improve the wellbeing of community members and break the cycle of poverty with a focus on health, empowering women and girls, food security and climate change, and Indigenous programs. The fund was started after the Sydney Mine disaster. Its latest project is a Gaza and Westbank Emergency appeal. The Anglican Church Women of the Cathedral St. John The Evangelist, Main Street will host its annual PWRDF Brunch (Primates World Relief Development Fund) this Saturday, March 16th. It will take place from 11:30am to 1:30pm in the Churchill Hall of the Cathedral serving toutons, baked beans, sausage, bologna, juice, tea/coffee for $15.00.  All proceeds go to PWRDF.
