A person can be provided with the option of meeting a need of a family directly (and receive only the first name and phone number of the family) only if that individual meets all of the following criteria:
- Be an “approved member” of an approved church
- Be specifically enabled by the church to have the option of giving directly to a family
- Has a skill or item that a family needs
- Specifically chooses to give (items or services) directly to the family (they can still choose at this point to give through the church or charity to whom the family is assigned, rather than doing so directly to the family)
If the person wanting to help that family does not meet all of those criteria they can only meet the need through the organization that posted the need for that family. They will receive a confirmation email when they sign up to meet that need with the name, address and number of the church or charity that posted the receiving family’s need. The church or charity that posted the need is also notified and the two parties will arrange a way to pick up the item or deliver the service.
