THE WONG FAMILY HOPE FUND
A Lifeline in Times of Crisis
In times of unexpected challenges, the Wong Family Hope Fund is here to provide assistance and restore hope. We honor the strength that arises from community and seek to uplift those in need.
Purpose of the Fund
The Wong Family Hope Fund offers a one-time financial grant of up to $2,500 per individual or family. This assistance is intended for temporary relief and is not designed to cover ongoing or routine expenses. In exceptional cases, the committee may consider requests for additional support, with the overarching goal of empowering recipients as they work toward greater stability.
Our Inspiration
Guided by the principle in I Corinthians 12:26a (NIV), "If one part suffers, every part suffers with it," we are committed to supporting one another through both challenges and triumphs. The Wong Family Hope Fund embodies this spirit, providing critical assistance during difficult times.
