A collaborative Benevolence effort by participating area churches, individual donors, and Northwoods Share 'fund raisers' to share in the emergency financial needs of families in the greater Eagle River area. ( Phelps, St Germain, Sayner, Conover, Land o' Lakes, Three Lakes area communities) By pooling financial and volunteer resources, emergency financial help is made available for families in our community. Each applicant will be:
interviewed,
their needs evaluated,
resources from other agencies explored,
on-going relationships developed,
education on life improvement skills provided and
other assistance added as necessary.
All this is offered by a group of well trained volunteers working together under a single administrative structure. Spending journals are given to help applicants keep track of spending and form a budget. Prayer and encouragement provide hope to hopeless life situations!
