Seeking Assistance

If you or someone you know is in need of food or other assistance, please call the office or let one of the clergy know. Clergy may have discretionary funds with which to help those in need. 

If you would like to help provide assistance, THANK YOU! Please write a check to St. Christopher’s and include Mother Jen’s Discretionary Fund in the Memo line. This is the fund from which our church distributes to those in need. 

Supporting our community partners like Epps Christian Center and OJ Semmes is helpful as well, as they have distribution systems in place and are already known to those seeking assistance. 

Thank you for all that you do for our Christophers and for our community!
