As we prepare for an increase in requests for benevolence due COVID 19, our diaconate is also reviewing the option of asking people to repay what they receive.
John, do you ask the same type of repayment from recipients who are not from your congregation?
Do the repaid funds fit the criteria for a charitable tax receipt?
Do you also have benevolence funds that are not expected to be repaid?

Thank you, Rob. Do you have any suggestions as we expect unprecedented requests for benevolence? We do have a policy which we'll follow.
