Epworth is a community where individuals are caring for and supporting each other all the time. Everyone needs a little extra help from time to time, and we’re launching the Caring Network to support the church community in making connections between people in times of need. Opportunities to support people in the Epworth community will include things like:

​

• running errands,

• giving someone a ride,

• preparing a meal, or

• writing a letter to let someone know you’re thinking about them.

 

This is already happening every day in our community – the goal of the Caring Network is to create a space where people can request help and offer support, and to target outreach to folks who may be able to offer help with a particular need.​

 

How to Communicate a Need

To communicate a need, please send a note to caring (at) epworthberkeley.org or reach out to Pastor Debbie or other church staff. We’ll follow up with you as quickly as possible. All requests will be kept confidential, and only limited information will be shared with potential volunteers to facilitate a connection and coordinate support.

​​

How To Join the Network

To join the network of caring congregants, please take a few minutes to complete this short questionnaire to identify your preferences for how and when you are best able to participate in the Caring Network. We’ll reach out to you when a matching request arises to see if you’re available to help. It’s that simple.
