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 Ministry 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.
