Benevolence.  It means 'good for others.'  We as a faith community designate some of our resources to help out those struggling financially.  In those times we come alongside to help pay for an electrical bill, some medicine, or a month's rent.  It is not a simple handout.  It is not a long term financial assitance program.  Those who continue to struggle financially and need additional assistance are required to work with a financial counselor.  If you are struggling financially click here.
