MARSHFIELD – Marshfield officials and the faith community are banding together to provide support to local residents.

 In a joint effort with the city’s faith community, Mayor Bob McManus is introduced a volunteer-led “Hopeline” of community members “who will listen, offer support and most importantly, provide hope for those who need it.”

In just over a week, the faith-based group and Marshfield’s Communications Department, assisting through the use of the Marshfield Media Access platforms, formed a Marshfield Community Hopeline (MCHL), equipped to point anyone to available local services such as formal counseling, meal options, health care, and other resources.

“By working together we will be a stronger community and all of us will get through this,” said McManus.

The MCHL will be available Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – noon and 4 – 9 p.m.; Saturdays from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., and Sundays, 1-5 p.m. by calling 715-384-3188, or visit www.mchopeline.org.

“Yes,   there   are   limitations   that   we   must   abide   by   as   we   are   not   trained   counselors,  medical   professionals,   etc.”   said   Pastor   Beth   Zarnke   of   North   Ridge   Church.    “We   are  followers   of   Jesus,   who   desire   to   be   His   hands   and   feet   during   this   time   of   social distancing   and   unprecedented   times.    Our   goal   is   to   provide   a   confidential,   loving   ear   to  our   callers,   offer   encouragement,   discern   their   needs,   be   able   to   pray   and   when  needed,   provide   local   resources.   While   many   of   our   volunteers   will   come   from   a   variety  of   church   backgrounds   and   experiences,   we   are   standing   united   representing   Jesus  Christ,   rather   than   our   own   church   or   denomination,   through   the   Marshfield   Community  Hopeline.”
