Everence Sharing fund distributed about $76,370 to 57 churches in the Central Kansas area.

Churches that received grants in 2012 were Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church near Goessel, Ebenfeld Mennonite Brethren and First Mennnonite Church of Hillsboro, Goessel Mennonite Church, Hillsboro Mennonite Brethren, Spring Valley Mennonite, Tabor Mennonite, and Trinity Mennonite.

The sharing fund provides money to match what local congregations have donated to help people with basic living expenses.

Sharing Fund grants are made possible by members who do business with Everence.
