Brownsville area churches establish ‘Benevolent Fund’
Brownsville Area Ministerial Association’s member churches have pooled resources to create one “Benevolent Fund” for emergencies within the community.
Gigi Galloway of the Historic Church of St. Peter is overseeing the project and is tasked with evaluating all requests for assistance. According to the Rev. Roger Diehl, BAMA president, the new system offers better control of resources by eliminating the possibility of residents making the same assistance request to more than one church, which has occurred in the past.
