Donations
Christian Neighbors exists because of the generosity of donations from people and businesses in our community. Our Mission is to provide a safe place for people in our community who need food, rent and utility assistance, education, or other resources to help create stability in their lives. Explore below to learn various ways you can donate, how important donations are to our existence and how we use these donations.
Monetary Donations
One Time Donation
Giving a one-time gift is great for individuals wanting to honor a birthday, wedding, or holiday. One-time gifts can also be used to remember someone special as a Memorial. An acknowledgement will be sent to the individual or family, if the full name, address of the individual/family member is provided.
Recurring Monthly Donations
By making a recurring monthly donation, you are part of the bedrock of stability to sustain our mission and provide a long-term investment in Christian Neighbors. Recurring donations allows us to plan ahead, reduce cash flow worries, and helps us to focus on our mission and budget planning.
