Parishes

Fund for Armenian Relief was formed in the aftermath of the 1988 earthquake in Armenia. Its mission, the mission of the Diocese of the Armenian Church, was to organize and direct the tremendous outpouring of goodwill—in the form of funds, in-kind donations, and human resources. Today, we take great pride in FAR’s 20-year record of service and achievement. We want to let you, our parishes, know that FAR’s successes are your successes, too; by representing the Diocese in Armenia, FAR is representing you, all our people in all our local parishes.

With that in mind, we have launched the FAR Parishes Initiative. It’s an effort to encourage you as our parishes to use FAR—your organization—to realize your own plans to help our homeland.

FAR is the agency of choice for the U.S. government to deliver development aid to Armenia. Please make FAR the agency of choice as your Diocesan parish seeks to help the people of Armenia, Karabagh, and Javakhk.

Parishes do not have be bystanders to the events that impact communities in Armenia. Your church can be a leader in helping children and families overcome adversities and realize their God-given potential.

FAR can be your bridge to the world’s poor. As your church changes the lives of those in poverty, your congregation will be transformed as well.

Start today. Give us a call at 212.889.5150 or write us an e/mail far@farusa.org and partner your parish with a community in Armenia.
