Keep the Lights On
A little breathing room in a difficult season.
Proposed initiative
The need
A sudden loss of income or unexpected bill can unsettle a household. Short-term help should be assessed fairly and protect personal information.
Who this is for
Households facing an urgent rent or utility crisis and meeting published, needs-based eligibility rules. Eligibility must never depend on conversion, church membership, or religious participation.
What we hope to do
Review requests through a confidential assessment, verify the bill and payee, and make approved assistance payments directly where appropriate.
How funds would be used
Verified rent or utility assistance and documented assessment and administration costs.
Prepare to serve
Help maintain resources or support administrative coordination within strict confidentiality rules.
Express volunteer interestCareful preparation, lasting trust.
Eligibility, award limits, appeals, conflict-of-interest controls, and payment approval must be published before applications open.

Common questions
Can I request help now?
This proposed initiative is not currently accepting assistance applications. You can contact us about your interest; we cannot promise assistance. For urgent needs, contact verified services in your area.
Does a gift guarantee a specific outcome?
No. Contributions support the disclosed costs of approved work. We do not promise that a fixed amount guarantees a meal, bed, job, or other outcome.
What happens if the program changes?
Collection stops if the purpose cannot be fulfilled. Any reassignment or refund requires recorded review and donor communication; the original designation is retained.
