FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHILDREN’S FUND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FP Children\u2019s Fund is now managed by the regional FAN office. The church has transferred the funds to the regional FAN office, with a primary focus on providing gas cards to support transportation for medical appointments (e.g., travel to Portland or Seattle for surgery or specialty care).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a student who needs assistance with transportation, please contact your FAN advocate. For other needs, such as clothing, check with your FAN advocate to explore additional resources or ideas for obtaining support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
