Caring, responding, and sharing

Are you in a crisis and are struggling to meet your basic needs? This ministry offers you personal and confidential physical and material support to help you get back on track.

Assistance to pre-qualified persons includes housing assistance such as mortgage and/or rent payment, utility payment, and basic household items and furniture.

This assessment is facilitated by the Benevolence Ministry Executive Team.
