In these difficult days, it has become increasingly dangerous for our Hispanic/Latine neighbors to leave their homes—including for work, which results in lost pay; to take children to their school bus stops; to shop for groceries; and to attend worship services.
To provide some relief, Bishop Schwerin has established an Emergency Solidarity Fund. It will assist primarily Hispanic/Latine people (but also other immigrants) who are increasingly vulnerable. Gifts from this fund will help people with whom our churches directly minister and those in our towns and neighborhoods. https://www.umcnic.org/SolidarityFund
Offering plate (or online – link above) giving with a note that it is for the Bishop’s Emergency Solidarity Fund will also work. Thank you for your consideration.
