Assistance Resources
The office of the Presbytery of New Hope often receives calls and emails from our neighbors seeking aid.
As a Matthew 25 presbytery we are striving to be more responsive and better equipped in our responses to these requests. At this time the Presbytery office does not provide direct financial assistance but recommends the following services from our member congregations and these community partners:
Friendship Fund of First Presbyterian Church in Raleigh
