Good Samaritan Fund
The mission of the Good Samaritan Fund is to provide financial assistance to members of our community who are experiencing hardships. This can include a gas voucher, rent/mortgage payment, utility payments, etc.
A major source of income for the Good Samaritan Fund is the Generosity Tree which is displayed every May with envelopes labeled $1 to $100. Church members are encouraged to select a labeled envelope and insert the corresponding amount and return to the offering plate. Members may donate in honor or memory of a special someone in their life.
Donations are also encouraged throughout the year for special events such as funerals, holidays, etc.
