Information on Financial Assistance
If you are seeking financial assistance, we may first ask to go over your budget with you. Requests will be considered based on your basic living needs. Each request for financial assistance goes through a thorough review process, sometimes involving several people. You may be asked to consider letting go of nonessential living expenses before assistance is approved. Financial assistance may continue over time, however, it would be with the intent of reducing and eventually discontinuing our financial assistance when appropriate. The Deacons occasionally provide long-term financial assistance but do not provide loans under any circumstances, nor does it compensate for individual business risks. Please understand that financial assistance is not guaranteed and that the Deacons may not always be able to provide it.
