CARELink
This is an emergency assistance fund for those who find themselves in trouble. Faith Lutheran is part of a coalition of churches in Eldridge who have banded together to coordinate emergency relief for such things as food, gas, housing, prescriptions, bus tickets, etc. Access to the assistance is by referral from the pastors of the churches of the North Scott Clergy Association, including Faith.
