Why we do this
Faith that moves toward our neighbors.
Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe that love becomes visible when we draw near, share what we have, and build relationships across the lines that usually keep people apart.
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Mark 12:31
Scripture that shapes us
Love made visible.
Our model is rooted in a biblical vision of shared life, open hands, practical care, and love expressed through action.
“And all who believed were together and had all things in common.”
A community formed around fellowship, prayer, shared meals, and meeting needs together.
“Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”
Jesus’ self-giving love becomes the pattern for tangible love.
“As you did it to one of the least of these … you did it to me.”
Jesus draws close to people who are hungry, sick, excluded, or in need.
“Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none.”
Repentance becomes visible in sharing what we have.
“Without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?”
Faith responds to a neighbor’s need with practical care.

Frequently asked questions
A simple idea with a deeply personal approach.
Everything you need to know before joining your local network.
What is The Generosity Network?
We are a network of Christians who help one another notice and respond to needs in our own communities. Money can remove an immediate barrier, but relationship is the goal: knowing our neighbors, sharing life, and reflecting the love of God in practical ways.
Do I need to have a giving opportunity before I join?
Not at all. Join your city's WhatsApp group to listen, be inspired, and offer your time or skills when an opportunity fits. You can participate long before you bring an opportunity of your own.
What counts as an opportunity?
An opportunity starts with a real person you know—or are willing to get to know—and a specific need. It could mean helping with rent, repairing a car, babysitting, moving furniture, sharing meals, or simply making sure someone is not facing a hard season alone.
How does someone request funding?
Share the situation with your city network. A local leader will talk it through with you, help clarify the need and the relational plan, and guide you through the funding request. We aim to keep the process personal, thoughtful, and simple.
What happens after the immediate need is met?
That is where the most important part begins. The person who brought the opportunity continues the relationship through check-ins, meals, activities, friendship, prayer when welcomed, and other non-monetary ways of showing up.
Is financial help the only way to contribute?
No. Often the most valuable gift is time, a useful skill, a connection, a meal, or steady friendship. The city group makes it easier for people with different gifts to find one another around a neighbor's need.
Do neighbors receiving help need to be Christian?
No. We love and serve our neighbors freely. Our Christian faith is why we do this, not a condition someone must meet to be cared for.
Where are city networks active?
We currently have groups in Boston, Denver, and Boise. We hope to grow carefully as local leaders and relational communities take root in new cities.
