Each September your gifts to our special collection replenish the Minister's Confidential Fund, which enables your minister to help local people in financial crisis. In the past year, this fund has covered prescription drugs and essential services, gas for someone living in his truck during a cold snap, and gas for an immigrant whose family had relocated to the South; he was trying to join them before their new baby came. We do not disperse cash but will pay bills when presented with an invoice and give grocery and gas cards.
At this time the Confidential Fund is not matched by our Social Justice Fund, and so the ability to help folks in dire circumstances rests entirely upon gifts from our congregation. Please give generously. Thank you for making this community support possible.
