This breakfast will be a time to learn about Liberty HealthShare’s newest Sharing Hearts Fund initiative which seeks to provide funding to churches in Stark and contiguous counties for use in ministry to those who need it most in our communities. We have dedicated $100,000 to this fund, and are offering 20 grant opportunities of up to $5,000 each.
Many groups. One Mission.
We have invited church leaders as well as community and social service agency heads to offer chances for connection and collaboration. While funding is only available to churches, we believe that we are stronger together, and hope that you can identify and connect with others in your community who are seeking to make a positive impact in similar ways. A cord of many strands is harder to break after all!
RSVP by August 1stbelow, and don’t miss this exciting opportunity! We couldn’t be more excited to welcome you and work towards fulfilling the call of the Gospel together.
Liberty HealthShare is non-profit healthcare sharing ministry located in Stark County. Members of our ministry are located around the United States and we serve as facilitators for the sharing of eligible medical expenses between members.
We launched the Sharing Hearts Fund to help Stark County families in need receive funding for healthcare expenses for their children, and it has grown far beyond this initial goal while maintaining the same core mission—to be a force for good in the lives of those who need it most.
We are excited for this newest phase of the Sharing Hearts Fund, and we look forward to walking side-by-side with you as we work to love those around us one step at a time.
