Throughout the holiday season, Times Record News will be sharing stories of how Times Charities has aided our partner nonprofit organizations recently in helping struggling individuals.
A local woman who is a single mom with a daughter sought help from Grace Ministries in Burkburnett.
The woman normally works at a business in the area. But she has been sick and could not work. The woman was denied unemployment and had no pay. In addition, her car has needed extensive repairs, including the transmission motor mount. She has also had expenses for school supplies and clothes.
With help from Times Charities Donations, Grace Ministries is helping the woman pay her $102.01 water bill.
Times Charities, a nonprofit created by the Times Record News over 20 years ago, raises money during the holiday season to address financial woes throughout the calendar year. Times Charities also helps area veterans get back on their feet.
Donations to Times Charities go to the four partners: Wichita Falls Faith Mission, Interfaith Outreach Services, The Salvation Army and Grace Ministries in Burkburnett.
Overhead expenses are not paid from donations.
No money is spent from the Times Charities account until the situations of those seeking help are verified by our partners.
Donations can be made in the form of cash, checks and debit or credit cards. Online donations are also welcome through wichitacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate.
Make checks payable to Times Charities/WFACF, and mail them to 2633 Plaza Parkway, Wichita Falls, TX 76308.
