Financial Help
The people who receive financial help from participating churches
and/or their member volunteers via Church Care are those who tell
the truth - otherwise they disqualify themselves. Many of those
who tell the truth and do receive help from participating churches
are hardworking single mothers. Some others are temporarily
without income. Many are elderly and/or suffer health problems
that prevent them from working. Most are low income earners
who are hit with a sudden extraordinary expense not of their
own making, and they have no way to make it good. Often a one
time help for people in these circumstances will save them a
move to a shelter - a move that almost always follows eviction.
In some cases it will save them from being added to the welfare
rolls.
Hands-On Help
Most people who receive "hands-on" help from participating
churches fit this same description - they have told the truth
about their situation but have no money to pay for what is needed.
For instance - someone who is in need of a wheelchair ramp.
They have no family to help, no home church to help, and the
agencies that might help have a three year waiting list. There
are 40 plus different kinds of needs of this sort for which
Church Care tries to find volunteer Christian help. See Talent
Bank Inventory.
