A Message of Hope and Support
Our hearts are heavy for those affected by the recent fires. Grace Presbyterian Church is committed to providing support and assistance to our church family and neighbors during this challenging time.
How You Can Help
We understand many are eager to offer support. At this time, we are primarily accepting financial contributions to best address the immediate and ongoing needs of fire victims through our Deacon Fund.
Give to the Deacon Fund
- Your generous donations will be used in the following ways:
1) Immediate support for fire victims within our congregation.
2) Immediate support for fire victims recommended by our congregation members*.
3) Ongoing and future needs of fire victims within our congregation and those recommended*.
4) Any remaining funds, after all needs are met, will be allocated to our standard benevolence fund for future assistance.
*Congregation member recomendations are subject to deacon approval.
Important Information Regarding Assistance
- Focus on Church Members and Regular Attenders: Due to limited resources, Grace Presbyterian Church is currently prioritizing assistance for its members and regular attenders.
- Assistance for Stillwater Residents: If you are a Stillwater resident in need of assistance but are not a member of our congregation, we recommend contacting the following larger relief organizations:
- Material Donations: We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support. However, at this time, we are unable to accept material donations due to limited storage and distribution capacity. We also recognize that many fire victims are currently without stable housing, making storage challenging.
Supporting Our Community
We believe that financial assistance provides the most flexible and immediate support for those affected by the fires. By contributing to the Deacon Fund, you are directly helping our community rebuild and recover.
Our Commitment
The deacons of Grace Presbyterian Church are diligently managing these funds to ensure they are distributed efficiently and effectively to those in need. We are committed to transparency and accountability in our efforts.
