BENEVOLENCE

Benevolence addresses pressing issues such as inadequate nutrition, finances, and clothing that often prevent individuals from taking advantage of life-changing opportunities that can impact their welfare. As such, basic physical needs must be met before people can move beyond their present circumstances to act on decisions that will improve their futures.

Right in the middle of North Richmond is a great benevolence ministry called Helping Hands. They provide food and clothing to those in need on a short term basis. We are partnering with Helping Hands by providing volunteers, donating money, food and clothing.

In the near future we’d like to offer the community life skill classes on things like cooking, financial literacy, budgeting, nutrition, etc.  We need volunteers to help with church-wide donation drives, help us assess families in need, stock the food pantry, sort clothes and help with case management.

To volunteer or learn more about how you can help, contact Benevolence Team Leader Julio Ayuso.
