2020 United Thank Offering Grant Recipient - Pine Ridge Commons

Pine Ridge Commons; Charlotte Dalwood, Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota, $5,000

Combining evangelism with community development, “Pine Ridge Commons” will transform the seven churches of The Episcopal Church’s Pine Ridge Mission into public spaces at which young adults can gather, form constructive relationships with one another and older mentors, and cultivate practices of Native and Episcopal piety to infuse their daily lives with hope and meaning.

This grant was part of the United Thank Offering's Young Adult and Seminarian grant program. In 2020, the theme was Holy Gifts: bringing together our blessings and gifts to breathe love, liberation, and life into our communities.
