Your Gifts Support
The Good Samaritan Inn serves a hot, nutritious mid-day meal to anyone who needs it seven days a week, year-round. All are welcome; no questions asked. Central is blessed to be able to support The Good Samaritan Inn not only financially, but also with our time. We have a group who volunteers at the "Good Sam" once a month on a Monday and also a group who volunteers every other month on a Saturday. Contact the church office if you'd like to learn more about volunteering with them.
NORTHEAST COMMUNITY FUND
What started as a small food pantry has developed into a large social service organization. Since 1969, Northeast Community Fund has worked to strengthen and uplift individuals and families in our community by compassionately connecting them with resources and services in a caring, Christ-like manner. With the blessings of our community, they work to meet the basic needs of families, provide financial support to those in hardship and give resources to move people out of poverty. They are an organization of the community, for the community. Central is blessed to be able to partner with them.
GOD'S SHELTER OF LOVE
First established in 1991 to as a ministry for homeless women and children in Decatur, God's Shelter of Love continues to serve the needs of homeless families and individuals and provides much-needed outreach to the neighborhood. The Shelter provides crisis intervention in the form of food and clothing, advocacy and case management, financial counseling, resource referrals, pastoral care and counseling, and a consistent support system from arrival, during, and after departure from the Shelter. Central is blessed to be able to partner with them.
DOVE INC. & DOVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
DOVE Inc. is an organization that engages religious institutions, volunteers, and advocates seeking to coordinate efforts to address unmet needs and social injustices. These needs are met through coordinated programs focusing on domestic violence, homelessness, education, volunteer and community empowerment, and individual emergency need fulfillment. Dove works for justice, equality, and understanding among all people. Central is blessed to not only be able to support DOVE Inc. financially, but we also host the DOVE Inc. Children's Clothing Room in our building 2 days a week.
DOVE Inc. Financial Assistance (DFA) is a joint effort of area religious organizations to give monetary support to persons who have emergency financial needs. DFA provides a systematic way to verify needs and provides a central location for persons seeking emergency financial assistance for water, power, eye prescription, dental through Macon County Health Department, and some prescription meds. DFA also works with Energy Assistance Foundations to distribute the funding through the "Warm Neighbors, Cool Friends" program, which assists persons with payment of their summer and winter power bills in Macon, Dewitt, and Piatt counties.
Central is blessed to partner with DOVE Inc.
