CP Budgeting and Service Delivery

As you know, my community partner is the Spanish Youth Ministry, Niños de Fe at Cathedral of Faith. The church receives money from members of the church which we call offerings. It uses the abundance of offerings to pay custodians, electricity, pastors, administrators, and the land on which the church sits on. It also uses its funds to provide aid for poor families, people with disabilities, people with addictions, counseling, and health/fitness. The values it rests on are the ones set forth in the Bible, specifically the Ten Commandments. The Hallmarks of our institution that I think best fits my CP are "We commit ourselves to community service", "We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve", and "We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." The first one suits my CP because my church utilizes its resources and budget to help those through many different avenues whether its the weekly food drives, annual Christmas gift donations, or every Sunday childcare for the youth ministries. The second one suits because while we all serve with one another, we establish a solid base in which it feels like home. Lastly, we do not judge a person. When we serve, we do not ask questions unless it allows us to be more helpful. We appreciate each and every person and everyone is welcome.
