Times Charities: Help when the plumbing went bad

Throughout the holiday season, Times Record News will be sharing stories of how Times Charities has aided our partner nonprofit organizations in helping individuals throughout the past year.

Interfaith Outreach Services had an elderly client who had severe plumbing issues. The woman was applying for disability and was living with her disabled daughter.

The water was backing up into her home, making it uninhabitable. The family was limited in what they could pay because of the fixed income.

The woman owns her home and has never asked for assistance before. After contacting several area plumbers, Times Charities was able to make the full payment to get the plumbing issues resolved.

Times Charities, a nonprofit created by the Times Record News more than 20 years ago, raises money during the holiday season to address financial woes throughout the calendar year. Times Charities also helps area veterans get back on their feet.

Donations to Times Charities go to the four partners: Faith Mission, Interfaith Outreach Services, The Salvation Army and Grace Ministries in Burkburnett.

Overhead expenses are not paid from donations.

No money is spent from the Times Charities account until the situations of those seeking help are verified by our partners.

Donations can be made in the form of cash, checks and debit or credit cards. Online donations are also welcome through https://wichitacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate.

Make checks payable to Times Charities/WFACF, and mail them to 2405 Kell, #100, Wichita Falls, TX 76308.
