About 4PeteSake

4PeteSake is run by a 9-member, volunteer group. The independent committee is part of the public outreach program of Christ Lutheran Church, which gives 4PeteSake access to a 501(c)3 organization, allowing contributions to be tax-deductible.

The committee chooses at least one recipient each year through an application process. The primary goal is to relieve financial stress so recipients can focus on healing. 4PeteSake funds fill in where insurance leaves off – such as providing income replacement to keep the lights and

heat on and take care of other basic household expenses. The committee may also become an advocate for recipients, helping them through the maze of services and fees, and making the dollars provided stretch even further.

Now in its seventh year, 4PeteSake has raised nearly $500,000 and changed the lives of more than 20 past beneficiaries. The group’s mission is to raise money to assist recipients in a way that can substantially change their circumstances and impact their quality of life.
