Humane Society Seeks Volunteers in the Faith Community

Promote Animal Protection in the Faith Community!  

 

The Humane Society of the United States’ Faith Outreach program engages faith communities in animal protection issues, on the premise that religious values call upon us to act in a kind and merciful way towards all creatures. The program offers ideas for community ministry through The Fill the Bowl Project, a pet food collection toolkit to help families with pets and animal shelters in need; Eating Mercifully, a compelling documentary on factory-farming issues, and Humane Backyard, projects for faith communities to celebrate nature and wildlife that God created. Seasonal resources include Compassionate Living for Lent and St. Francis Day in a Box. 

They seek volunteers to implement this important work nationwide.  Faith Outreach Volunteers will gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between religion and animal protection. They will help bring to light the moral issues of how our society treats animals while strengthening important skills such as networking, critical thinking, and community outreach. They will have the opportunity to work directly with local faith leaders, connect faith communities with HSUS resources and assist the HSUS state director on animal protection issues as needed.

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
