Assistance Misconceptions

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to those needing assistance. Download "Assistance Misconceptions" resources for your church/group to start a conversation and the education process of what your neighbors are going through. Provided materials work at breaking down stereotypes, share information, and the humanity of people in different situations.

Open your heart and mind to learn more about what is happening in your community. Then ask God to direct your heart to what He would have you do about it—what role can you play in making change.
