As funds are available, a partial payment of $100 for rent or utilities is available to residents of Cass County by completing the online application on this page. In addition to your personal information, rent/lease payment assistance requires the name, address and phone number of your landlord, and utility assistance requires your account number and the amount you last paid to the utility.

 

You will be contacted within five business days if the alliance can pay part of your bill by sending a check to your landlord or paying a portion of your utility bill online.

 

Telephone requests and last minute requests cannot be processed.

 

If we are unable to process your request, you will need to reapply next month if you still need assistance since there is not a "waiting list" that carries over from month to month.

​

Generally the alliance can help you twice a year, as funds are available, for a total of $200.

 

Requests for motel rooms, fuel, medicine and food are not the focus of the HMA benevolence program and will be considered on a case by case basis.

 

The alliance provides food to clients through the Shepherd’s Staff Food Pantry on Friday afternoons, not through the thrift shop on the other days of the week.

Donations

​

Funding for benevolence comes from thrift store sales, the City of Harrisonville Helping Hands utility assistance program, and gifts from churches, community organizations and individuals.

 

If you would like to support the benevolence fund financially, please make checks payable to the Harrisonville Ministerial Alliance and mail them to P.O. Box 262, Harrisonville, MO, 64701.  Thank you for your thoughtful generosity.
