Financial & Food Assistance
Financial Assistance
Life can bring unexpected challenges, and if you’re experiencing a financial hardship, we want to support you however we can. Our Assistance Application is open to both members and non-members, and you can complete and submit it fully online.
Please fill out the form completely and include a copy of the bill you would like us to consider. Each request is reviewed individually by our Benevolence Committee. Because we know many needs are time-sensitive, our team works hard to review applications and make decisions as quickly as possible. Please check your email regularly after submitting your form, as our committee often communicates by email first.
If submitting the application online isn’t possible for you, you’re welcome to stop by the church office to fill it out in person, or we can mail a copy to you upon request.
Before You Apply
To help you know what to expect, here are a few important guidelines:
- Assistance is available only for households in Franklin or Woodford County.
- We are not able to assist with hotel/motel stays.
- We are not able to assist with deposits.
- As part of our normal process, we check in with ROSM.
If your request is for something we aren’t able to assist with directly, we will do our best to point you toward local organizations or resources that may be able to help.

Manna House
Food Pantry
Manna House is open to anyone in our community who could use help with groceries or household supplies. Individuals and families are welcome to shop twice a month for non-perishable food items and household supplies.
The pantry is located in the Parsonage, directly across the street from the Main Church Building and to the right of the Chapel.
Manna House is open on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 9:00–10:30 AM.
What to Expect
When you arrive, volunteers will welcome you and guide you through the pantry inside the Parsonage. You’ll be able to choose from the available food and household items. No appointment is needed, and you do not need to be a church member to receive assistance.
Parking is available in the Chapel parking lot next to the Parsonage. If you have mobility concerns, our volunteers are happy to pack up your items and load them into your car.
Donations
Your generosity helps us care for individuals and families in our community.
Benevolence Fund
If you would like to give toward the Benevolence Fund, you can do so by writing “Benevolence” on the memo line of your check or on a cash envelope. If you prefer to give in another way—such as providing goods or services—please contact the church office.
Manna House
Donations for Manna House can be dropped off at the Main Church Building. A labeled donation bin is located under the coat rack to the left of the sanctuary.
