Make the Difference

Your support is critical. As the needs of individuals and families in our community continue to grow, so does the demand for assistance. Christian Clearing House now operates with an annual budget of more than $850,000, compared to just $30,000 in 1995. Your donation makes a real and lasting impact on the lives of our neighbors in need.

Every day, Christian Clearing House helps families facing food insecurity, housing instability, utility shutoffs, and other unexpected hardships. With your support, we can continue providing assistance, hope, and pathways toward long-term stability.

Food Assistance

Rising food costs continue to place a significant burden on local families. Christian Clearing House works closely with area food pantries and community partners to connect individuals and families with nutritious food and essential resources. Despite these efforts, the need for assistance continues to grow as more households struggle to make ends meet.

Housing Stability

Affordable housing remains one of the greatest challenges facing many families in Hancock County. Through partnerships with local landlords and housing organizations, including Hope House, Metro Housing, Senior Towers, and Section 8 programs, Christian Clearing House helps families remain safely housed and avoid homelessness whenever possible.

Utility Assistance

Increasing utility costs have made it difficult for many households to keep up with monthly expenses. Christian Clearing House collaborates with the Community Action Commission and other assistance programs to help families maintain essential services such as electricity, heat, and water, preventing service disconnections during times of crisis.

Additional Assistance

Christian Clearing House also provides support for a variety of other essential needs, including:

  • Gasoline assistance

  • Birth certificates

  • Prescriptions, medical equipment, and eyeglasses

  • Car repair

When another agency or program can better meet a client’s needs, referrals are made to ensure individuals and families receive the most appropriate assistance available. As a true community partner, Christian Clearing House works to maximize resources and stretch every dollar to serve as many people as possible.

Our goal is not only to address immediate crises but also to help individuals and families achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

The need in our community continues to grow, and our ability to help depends on the generosity of donors like you.

No gift is too small. Every tax-deductible contribution directly supports local individuals and families facing difficult circumstances and helps provide hope during times of uncertainty.
