Welcome to The Vineyard Church of East Central Illinois!

 

Emergency Fund

The Vineyard Emergency Fund exists to assist individuals and families who are actively involved in the Vineyard Church community with a one-time emergency request for shelter, warmth, food, and/or medical expenses.

Emergency Fund Details

Qualifying as "actively involved" to receive emergency assistance includes:

  • Regular attendance at Weekend services
  • Regular attendance/involvement with a Vineyard small group or support group ministry
  • Participation in one of the MercyWorks assistance ministries

 

Although our short-range goal is to provide emergency help, our long-term goal is to minister to the whole person. Funds are rarely given without individuals first meeting with a trained financial counselor from The Vineyard Church.

We are always seeking others to work with us, particularly those with a background in social work who are able to do intake, counseling, and advocacy for and with those among us in need.

For more information on the Emergency Fund, please fill out an Emergency Fund Application, available at the Welcome Center, and a team member will contact you.
