He
Cares.
Right
here, in Pinellas County, there is a grandmother unable to survive
on her Social Security benefits.
Right here, in our community, there is a single
mom who just lost her job...and her hope.
Right here, in our neighborhood, there is a child
crying herself to sleep tonight worrying if there will be anything
to eat in the morning.
Right here in our county, in our neighborhood,
there are more than 16,000 families living under the poverty level.
Every night approximately 3,200 people in Pinellas County have no
place to sleep.
Jesus is right here in our county, in our
communities, in our neighborhoods. He sees the elderly struggling
on a fixed income, those who have lost their jobs, and the children
without the security of knowing from where their next meal is
coming, and He Cares.
We
Care.
At He Cares Benevolence Ministry and Thrift
Store, we see the needs all around us: the homeless, the
unemployed, the elderly and those who are hurting and without hope.
We help meet those needs in a variety of ways:
He Cares Food Pantry provides food to more
than 2,400 families annually. Families who qualify for
assistance can receive a generous food allotment up to three
times annually.
He Cares Emergency Financial Assistance helps
with rent, electric and water bills, plus other crucial expenses
for those experiencing a financial crisis.
He Cares Thrift Ministry provides low cost
clothing and household goods for those in need.
He Cares Ministries provides for peoples
spiritual needs by listening, praying and caring for the whole
person. It is is this all-encompassing approach to benevolence
that is the key to He Cares.
Will You Care?
The need is great but together we can make a
tangible difference to the homeless and needy in Pinellas County.
There are four ways that you can become involved:
Give of Your Time: We need volunteers to
hang up clothes, stock shelves or pick up food donations from
around the county. In fact, we can use help doing just about
anything!
Give of Your Goods: We need your gently used
clothing, furniture and household items for our thrift store.
Your give could outfit a dad going for a job interview, give a
doll to a little girl who has never owned one, or provide dishes
for a family just starting out.
Give of Your Finances: We would love to help
everyone who comes in with a financial crisis but we are limited
by our financial resources. Your gift can enable the
electricity to be turned back on or the water service to
continue for those who have nowhere else to turn.
Pray: Giving people food, clothes or money
may help temporarily, but making a permanent difference in
people's lives can only be accomplished through prayer.
