How can I financially help the Schaffners?

Gerry will be out of work for an extended period of time and extensive medical expenses will be accrued (a portion will be covered by insurances, but not sure of exact amounts as of yet).

So First Baptist Church of Forest Grove (Gerry and Debbie's home church) has set up a special fund for Gerry and Debbie through the church. If someone would like to donate to this they can send a check, but they must do the following:

  • Make the check out to First Baptist Church Forest Grove, but do not designate on the check who or what it is for. Instead...

  • Send a note with the check that it is for the special fund for Gerry and Debbie. (Apparently, money sent to the church on behalf of someone cannot be designated as such on the check itself. Apparently this is some IRS tax code/law for churches. The individual needs to include a seperate note for its intended purpose.)

Church Address:
First Baptist Church Forest Grove
2224 15th Avenue
Forest Grove, OR 97116


The check can be sent to the attention of Gretchen Brown, their bookkeeper.
