A lot of churches have a Benevolence Fund for anyone in the community--not just a church member--who needs assistance paying rent, bills, etc. I know it can feel like crap asking for help but that's what those Funds are set up for. I was kinda poor growing up and I know my church then helped out. Then I lost my job in another town and my church helped me pay rent one month while I looked for another job. My current pastor just reminded the congregation that we have a Benevolence Fund. Three different churches, three different towns, two very different denominations...same mission, same willingness to help.

Love, Inc. may be able to help connect you with resources, too.

Just a thought...
