Born of long-term Quaker tradition and originally established to help those suffering economic hardship due to acts of conscience, the Fund for Sufferings was reinstated at Richmond Friends Meeting in 2009 to be used for short-term help for members and attenders in financial need. A major distinction between this fund and the Meeting's annual operating budget for Care and Counsel is that Friends may contribute directly to the Fund for Sufferings by sending a check earmarked for that purpose to the RFM Assistant Treasurer. Applicants for Fund for Sufferings assistance submit a request in writing to the clerk of Care and Counsel. The process allows confidentiality for both donors and recipients.
The 2023 co-clerks of Care and Counsel are Sylvia Shurcliff and Denna Joy. (They are in the RFM Directory.) Reach out to them should you have need for guidance about or support from the Fund for Sufferings.

An update about Bette Gilchrist memorial meeting for worship.
The memorial meeting for Bette Gilchrist will still be at 7:00 on Friday, June 10. We regret that we will not be able to hold a reception with food and drink afterward. This is because the Covid level now needs for us to wear our masks in the meetinghouse. Please plan to join for the memorial meeting in person or by Zoom. The zoom link will go out close to the date.
