'Save America Fund'
In these tough economic times there are a great number of people that struggle to make it financially from one day to the next. In the majority of cases, it is not as though these individuals are not trying to earn a legitimate living. With the failure of businesses to increase wages to offset the cost of living, the lack of job availability and the ever-present threat of layoffs these individuals are offered no relief. As Christians we should take this opportunity to help those that are less fortunate than ourselves. Therefore, this program is intended to do just that. Fifty percent (50%) of all donations and tithing made to Christian Interfaith Ministries are placed into the Save America Fund.
The Save America Fund is intended to provide financial relief to those that are facing financial hardship by paying their utilities, mortgage/rent, or automobile repair bill for the month. Every month one recipient is selected based upon their level of financial need. The amount awarded is based upon the available funds, and the recipient's level of financial hardship.
It is time to begin looking within. For years we have seen those organizations that want to minister to people outside the United States, and offer financial aid to these individuals. No doubt, this is heartfelt and compassionate. However, Christian Interfaith Ministries believes it is time that we help those that are struggling here at home. Therefore, applicants for this fund must be United States citizens.
