Benevolent Fund
To ensure Brandon’s faith community used their limited resources most effectively to help those in need, the CAB’s Program and Administrative Assistant formed partnerships with churches to create a centralized, one-time emergency Benevolent Fund managed by the Brandon Regional Health Authority’s 7th Street Health Access Clinic. In 2009, 129 people requested money from the fund, 79 requests were granted and the remaining 50 people received options/referrals/alternatives. The fund prevents people from accessing an identical item at multiple churches and acts as a catalyst to link people in crisis to necessary services.
Donations can be made out to the Brandon Ministerial Benevolent Fund and sent to or dropped off at: 7th Street Health Access Centre, #20 - 7th Street, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 6M8.
