Practice Discretionary Fund

The Rector's Discretionary Fund

The Rector’s Discretionary Fund helps those in need, whether members of our own church, or people in the community.

The Fund purchases food gift cards from our local supermarket. We give these cards to people with significant, immediate food needs that go beyond what the Hardwick Area Food Pantry can provide.

We also, of late, have resumed giving gas cards; we do hear from people who have literally no gas in their cars.

We can also help by paying a utility bill that is hanging over their heads and cover other emergency expenses.

The fund is replenished by special offerings made by the congregation for the purpose of helping our neighbors.
