Event will introduce new grant opportunities for churches serving those in need
CANTON, Ohio, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Liberty HealthShare® is inviting area pastors, church leaders, community leaders, and representatives of social service organizations to attend a Faith Breakfast on Tuesday, Aug. 11, at Malone University.
The breakfast will serve as an opportunity for pastors of churches in Stark, Summit, Portage, Mahoning, Columbiana, Carroll, Holmes, Wayne, and Tuscarawas counties to celebrate the work they are already doing for vulnerable populations in their communities and to apply for funding for a new grant opportunity from Liberty HealthShare’s Sharing Hearts Fund.
Attendees will learn about the new funding opportunity, hear from area pastors and ministry leaders, connect with local organizations serving similar populations, and receive information about applying for grants through the program.
“We know many churches are already doing incredible work to meet the needs of people in their communities, often with limited resources,” said Dorsey Morrow, Liberty HealthShare chief executive officer. “This breakfast is an opportunity to celebrate that work, provide practical information about the grant program, and create connections between churches and community organizations that share a common mission. Together, we can be an even greater force for good in the communities we serve.”
The initiative is the latest expansion of Liberty HealthShare’s Sharing Hearts Fund, the charitable arm of the nonprofit healthcare sharing ministry. Previous Sharing Hearts efforts have provided healthcare funding assistance to Stark County families and awarded grants to organizations addressing hunger and food insecurity in the region. In June, the Sharing Hearts Fund announced a donation of $200,000 to Akron Children’s Hospital to help families in Stark and Summit counties pay for medical care for their children.
Attendance is free, but registration is requested by Aug. 1.
