Grant Award

The District of Columbia Health Link awarded the African Methodist Episcopal Church Second District (SED) Religious, Educational and Charitable Development Projects (RED) Inc., a grant in the amount of $175,000 to enroll uninsured and hard to reach residents in health coverage. We count it a marvelous blessing to be among 35 organizations chosen to play a direct and hands on role in making affordable health insurance a reality for numerous persons who suffer and perhaps die from preventable illness simply because they lack coverage, says Presiding Bishop William Phillips DeVeaux.

We thank God for the opportunity to serve the people in DC and throughout the Second Episcopal District. Certainly the importance and role of AMEs was evident in the room! We have a great team with a diversity of background and skills.
