Adopted Family Program
Billy Graham once challenged a group of Christian leaders stating that if every
church in the United States would according to its size adopt a family who is
struggling to make ends meet, and help them until they can get back on
their feet, there would be no need for welfare programs.
The leaders of the Reformed Church of Shawangunk have taken this
challenge to heart and embarked on a pilot program to adopt a struggling
family in need of targeted assistance and provide temporary help with the
goal of helping the family get back on their feet.
Our pilot family faced a number of challenges from transportation to surgery,
including a number of sundry items that needed to be brought under
control. We limited our help to one family at a time, in order to learn what
the program might entail.
Our strategy is to provide concentrated effort in helping the family not only
with finances but also guidance through counseling and basic life
management skills training, thus providing a long term benefit, and building
block, rather than the program just being another financial hand out. The
projected program length for all candidates is 12 to 18 months.
This is a temporary subsidy and empowerment program. It is not designed
nor structured to provide assistance long-term or an indefinite amount of
time. The program is interactive where goals are set according to each
situation and continued assistance is incumbent upon goals met.
But the needs of any family for a period of year or so are many, especially
where stable income is not present. The ability of the Reformed Church of
Shawangunk to move in this direction has been made possible through the
generous gifts of our members and friends who have support the ministry in
its infant stages. We are ready to expand our help and invite the general
public to help more families in need of this specialized assistance.

Father; take your
inheritance, the kingdom
prepared for you since the
creation of the world. For I
was hungry and you gave
me something to eat, I was
thirsty and you gave me
something to drink, I was a
stranger and you invited me
in, I needed clothes and
you clothed me, I was sick
and you looked after me, I
was in prison and you came
