In December 2022 alone, we distributed almost $4,500 in emergency rent and utility assistance—keeping 31 people safely sheltered. Every single head of household was a woman and most were single moms. Typical assistance per inquiry is $100-$300. The Mission & Engagement team is hoping to grow the emergency fund to match the rising cost of housing and utilities. You can donate to the Emergency Assistance fund below.
Village Church offers a limited amount of emergency rent or utility assistance to those who need temporary support. Applicants should meet the following criteria:
Typical assistance per inquiry is $100-$300. The amount may vary based on available funding. Assistance must guarantee continued shelter, utility service or service restoration. This means that if you, a friend/relative, or an agency is paying any remaining balance in addition to assistance from Village Church, we ask that the funds are paid to the landlord or utility first before Village can make a payment.
Please note that Village Church is not a social service agency. We are grateful to be able to offer limited emergency assistance. However, the phone line is not always staffed. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
