The Servant Outreach Fund at McPherson First United Methodist Church made a significant difference in the lives of four local families during July, providing essential assistance with utilities and housing stability during challenging times.

Three families facing financial hardship received help with their utility bills through the fund, ensuring they could maintain electricity and other essential services in their homes during the hot summer months. The fund's support prevented service interruptions that would have created additional hardship for these households.

In addition to utility assistance, the Servant Outreach Fund addressed a particularly urgent housing situation. A single mother and her 11-year-old son, who had been living in a hotel room for eight months, received help securing stable housing. The fund covered a portion of the deposit needed for a rental home, providing this family with the opportunity to establish a permanent residence and the stability that comes with having a true home.

These four instances of direct assistance demonstrate the immediate and practical impact of the Servant Outreach Fund in our community. Each contribution to the fund translates directly into help for neighbors facing genuine need, whether that's keeping essential services connected or helping families transition from temporary to permanent housing.

The church extends deep gratitude to all who contribute to the Servant Outreach Fund. Your generosity makes it possible to respond quickly and meaningfully when community members face crisis situations. Through this ministry, McPherson First UMC continues to serve as a source of practical support and hope for families navigating difficult circumstances.
