PCM Assists 109 Families During Third Quarter
The Presbyterian Community Ministry (PCM) provided financial and home repair and renovation assistance to 109 Lee County families during the third quarter of this year.
Total income for the quarter was $41,607; expenses were $32,640. Income included $7,152 from membership dues, $18,000 in federal funds reserved for renovations, and $13,000 from our church. Expenses included about $18,000 for utilities and about $2400 for home renovations.
Among those whom PCM helped last quarter were
· Rosemary, whose lung damage from COVID makes it impossible for her to work. She struggles financially while awaiting her application for disability assistance to be approved. PCM paid her power bill just hours before her power was to be disconnected.
· Bill and his wife, who discovered a water leak in their Loachapoka home after they received a $300 water bill. They were able to rely on their social security checks to repair the leak but turned to PCM to get their water reconnected.
· Brenda, a single mother of three unable to work because her severely autistic son needs constant attention. Her power was disconnected when the children’s father stopped paying child support, and she could not pay the bill. PCM was able to pay the bill and get the power reconnected.
Donations of any amount from our church members are always welcome. Those who wish to make a gift to PCM should send their checks to PCM, 143 East Thach Avenue, Auburn, AL 36830. Those wishing to become individual annual members ($250) or family members ($300) should send their checks to the same address.
