Mark never handed people a verse and walked away — he found out what they actually needed. So here is the plain list: food, clothing, a bed, work, a church, a Bible study. And if you would rather talk to a person first, the form at the bottom comes straight to us.

The churches, Bible studies, and clothing closets people have told us about are going up as we confirm them. If you know a place that belongs here — or you are one — send it our way and we will add it.
Talk to a person
You do not have to sort this out alone.
Leave a name and one way to reach you. A pastor here or someone in the family will follow up — about a need, a question, a church, or simply because you would like to talk something through. Nothing you write here is posted on the site.
If you are in danger right now, please call 911 first.
