Share the Gift

Providing emergency help to those who need it.


During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, poverty doesn't take a day off. Many people have to make the choice between heating their home, having money for transportation, having warm winter clothes or providing sufficient, healthy food for their family. Resurrection's Share the Gift program provides assistance for those who need help beyond what a food pantry or clothing closet can provide.

When Resurrection was experiencing financial hardships, a nearby congregation donated a significant amount of money to help make it through the difficult time. When Resurrection returned to (relatively) solid financial grounds, the congregation decided to set aside the amount that had been given to them to establish the Share the Gift program. The program provides assistance to those with an emergency need who apply for funds. Since it began in 2017, Share the Gift has provided: emergency housing assistance, payment of utility bill, assistance with transportation and support for people displaced by an apartment complex fire. Share the Gift has also matched monetary donation from the congregation to organizations that have provided support and recovery efforts for those affected by hurricanes (including, Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).  

Your donation to Share the Gift will help us continue this ministry in 2019 and beyond.
