Food Pantry
The Gathering hosts a monthly Food Pantry on the third Saturday of each month. Distribution location alternates between our Midland and Odessa Campus. Follow our facebook page to find out where our next distribution will take place.
The Gathering Church has established a Compassion Fund for the purpose of providing short-term financial assistance to its members or regular attendees.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE?
This fund is designed to assist with financial needs up to the amount of $1,000.00. Assistance from the church will take into account the use of one’s personal resources, including family assistance (such as parents, children, relatives, etc.) as well as their local church community network (such as a small group, area community, etc.). Any approved funds will be made payable to the provider of the service. No money will be given directly to the member.
DOES MY SITUATION QUALIFY FOR THIS ASSISTANCE?
Wise stewardship dictates that assistance be extended when unexpected and serious circumstances develop, creating a hardship in which the health, safety or welfare of one or more members of the household is directly affected. Typically, these hardships are the result of a job loss, an accident, illness or death in the immediate family.
