Four Areas to Serve
How you can get involved in Alongside?
There are four main areas for you to get involved in with Alongside: companionship, financial support, transportation and acts of service. The more people who are willing to help, the more single parent families we can provide assistance to and love on. Hear more from Pastor Jason Fuller.
Companionship
Being a single parent can often be isolating as attention is focused on the needs of the children and time for self and others is sacrificed. Through ALONGSIDE, we envision pairing people with companions who provide friendship, a listening ear, counsel, skill development, and emotional support which leads to confidence and personal/spiritual growth both for the parent and the child(ren).
Financial Support
Financial needs are common obstacles in any home and can be even more burdensome in a single parent home. This can create enormous pressure and stress on the parent. Through ALONGSIDE, angel donors and funds raised through ministry events would provide financial assistance to help overcome these obstacles. Consider being a love angel and give today.
Acts of Service
It can be very difficult to keep up with the routine household maintenance while running a single parent household. As things add up, it can become a major source of stress. ALONGSIDE will strive to use resources we have within the church to be the hands and feet, assisting around the home where possible.
Single parent homes often have only one vehicle and one driver yet multiple activities. Car maintenance or coinciding activities often forces them to have to decline invitations or choose and prioritize one activity over another. Through ALONGSIDE, we envision transportation assistance for the family. The goal is to alleviate the stress of transportation, allowing both the children and the parent to continue their day-to-day activities.
