A TESTIMONY: "We think by helping low-income families get access to more resources, not just financial, but resources that come with education and other social supports — we'll bring opportunity to families and the communities where they live," —Bonita (Circles Family Coach)
OUR STORY: Journey of Faith is partnering with Friends in Deed, other churches and organizations to reduce poverty in Washtenaw County by 10%, over the next 10 years.
Circles Washtenaw County is a unique program that develops meaningful relationships across socio-economic lines which can have a dramatic impact on the effort to move families out of poverty.
HOW YOUR MONEY IS SPENT: Your donation of $100.00 helps Journey of Faith cover the cost of providing a meal at every Tuesday (in the month) gathering when Circles program participants are attending training classes; working on their action plans; and getting support from community resources.
You can use the "Quantity" field to indicate how much you would like to donate from $1.00-$500.
Please note that a payment transaction fee (2.9% of the amount donated, plus $.30) is included to process your donation. The transaction fee will be deducted from your donation.

HOW OUR FAITH COMMUNITY HAS BENEFITED FROM THIS MINISTRY: Knowing that relationships and connections matter, the Circles program matches a person in poverty with 2-3 middle or upper income partners for at least 18 months to build relationships.
Journey of Faith's partnership with Friends in Deed and others involved in this program gives us a chance to do two important things: start equipping, not just low-income families, but the whole community with the resources they need to move out of poverty; and more effectively address systemic barriers to escaping poverty and the strategies needed to permanently remove them.
