Pandemic Emergency Economic Relief (PEER)
In the midst of this pandemic many families who were already marginalized and pressured are now facing acute economic and food insecurity. At the same time, most of us are feeling isolated and longing to act. What if we could GROW connection during this time and ACT together to relieve pressure in our communities?
In order to reflect dignity and relieve pressure, the Oregon Synod (ELCA) and the NW Conference of the United Methodist Church (UMC) are partnering to encourage local congregations to join with one another and community-based organizations, like schools and social organizations, to offer grocery gift cards and other food or financial assistance to families most impacted during these times.
How it works:
ChristChurch has received a $500 matching gift grant from the Oregon Synod (ELCA). We are combining that with funds dollars from our benevolence fund and the pastor’s compassion fund for a total of $2,000. We will then buy grocery gift cards and deliver them to counselors at Evergreen Middle School, who will in turn get these grocery gift cards to families.
What can you do:
Help us double these funds by clicking on the PEER category in our online GIVE button (above) so that we can purchase even more grocery gift cards to impact local families in need.

Thank you!
We received $7, 200 in donations from the congregation and community members. The church donated the full $10,000 designated for this match. Total amount gifted to Bienestar: $17,200! This money will go directly to food, rent, and other assistance for families. Bienestar is a local non-profit serving the low-income housing needs of immigrant families in our area. Our immigrant population has been one of the hardest-hit populations during the pandemic with some of the greatest barriers to accessing services and benefits. Thank you for your generosity and your love for our neighbors! |
