Partnerships
The book of Acts tells us that "it is more blessed to give than to receive" (20:35), and here at Aletheia, God's provision and your giving have enabled us to extend generosity to some amazing organizations and people. Below is a list of partnerships that Aletheia has been or is currently involved with, either through our annual Christmas offering, The Big Give, or in ongoing support.
If you're interested in becoming involved with one of these amazing partner organizations, please reach out to Hannah from our Social Responsibility Department at

RIP medical debt, 2019
RIP Medical Debt is an organization that works on behalf of individuals, foundations, and corporations to abolish medical debt and provide relief for those in need. Through 2019's Big Give we were able to adopt medical debt for both Providence and Middlesex County in order to pay off almost 5 million dollars worth in our local communities.
The Philip Center, 2019
New England’s inner cities suffer from poverty, violence, addiction, and injustice. And with only one gospel church per 8,000 people, there is little access to the good news. So, the driving objective of The Philip Center is to help plant gospel churches among the urban poor of New England. Gospel churches address both eternal, spiritual needs and present, physical needs, and the first very often fuels the second. Aletheia partnered with The Philip Center through The Big Give in 2019.
Bethany Christian Services, 2017
The mission of Bethany Christian Services is to demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by protecting vulnerable children, empowering youth, and strengthening families through quality social services. This mission includes pregnancy counseling, foster care, emergency care, adoption, and safety and advocacy for refugees and immigrants, among other areas. Aletheia partnered with Bethany in out Big Give in 2017.
Other Local Partnerships and Opportunities
Through ongoing opportunities to volunteer time and effort, donate clothing and supplies, and contribute financially, Aletheia is engaged in the efforts of a handful of other local service opportunities and organizations. These include Loaves & Fishes (a local outreach to homeless and at-risk communities, providing hot meals and other human services) and The Foster Box (an organization that provides clothes and needed items to foster families, specifically during transition periods).
