NearFaith Care — Program Documents
Version 1.1 — Effective September 2, 2026
These documents govern the NearFaith Care program. The short version: Care is a private, religious benevolence program of the Christian community; assistance is by application only, capped at $500, verified through your local church, decided at the sole discretion of an appointed Review Board — and applying never guarantees receiving. The Care Fund is not accepting contributions, and NearFaith does not pay out money; any help comes from a local church.
