The Faith in Action Fund assists faith communities and other non-profits to provide an essential financial safety net for those living on the margins of our community. During this unprecedented crisis, many service organizations are overwhelmed in meeting these direct needs. Your donation will enable our faith community to keep the community safety net strong while meeting the unprecedented needs of our local community during COVID-19 and beyond.
We are thankful for all of the agencies working together to help find housing and furniture for a mother and her 3 children. This family has sent numerous emails thanking the various individuals involved in making their apartment their new home. We always enjoy hearing stories with a happy ending.

We had a family from Project Hope with the Virginia Beach Schools. The family has twin girls in the 5th grade and a 17 year old boy. They were finally able to find affordable housing. When they moved in, the family had no furnishings. Of course, the first need is always for beds. After putting out the request, Ascension Catholic Church made a donation towards the need. With funds from Faith in Action and the generous donation from Ascension, we were able to purchase 3 brand new mattresses. What a blessing to be able to bless others.

We at the Faith in Action office would like to give a special "thank you" to Community United Methodist Church for the generous contribution to the Faith in Action fund. The church office has been closed for some time now, so they are willing to donate to the fund as part of their outreach program. We are thankful for those that continue to support the less fortunate.. God bless.

My faith tells me that whatever talents we possess are gifts from above - they are meant to be given to others and for us to share what we have. The world is hungry for help and service - these are the gifts I can provide to promote hope and a sense of justice for all people.
For those of us with plenty, we must share our blessings with those who have barely enough. During these unprecedented times it is my desire to find a way that I can directly help those in our own communities who are struggling. That is why I decided to donate my stimulus check to the Faith in Action Fund where I know it will be wisely used to help others.
