Sacred Stone Camp

by Erik Moore
CfaRS donated to the Sacred Stone Camp at http://sacredstonecamp.org/ to support their effort to sustain a place at the negotiating table for what happens to their land.

Syrian Refugee Humanitarian Aid, Mercy Corps
October 16, 2016
by Erik Moore
CFARS has donated again to provide relief for the Syrian refugee crisis. This ongoing humanitarian effort has not come to a quick end, and further relief is necessary.

Planned Parenthood
December 3, 2015
by Erik Moore
CfaRS has just donated to Planned Parenthood, an organization that supports evidence-based medicine along with scientific information and alternatives for women regarding reproductive health. This organization stands strong in the face of ideologically-drive attacks, blatant lies, and campaigns of demonization as it empowers women to take their lives and their choices into their own hands. You can learn more about them on their website: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/
