Old Order Amish Helping Program

THE PROGRAM BORROWS FUNDS FROM MEMBERS OF THE OLD ORDER AMISH COMMUNITY TO RE-LEND THE FUNDS TO YOUNGER/NEEDY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AT A LOW INTEREST RATE. BY OPERATING A HELPING PROGRAM, THE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WHICH ARE EVIDENT IN THE CULTURAL TRADITIONS AND LIFESTYLES OF THE OLD ORDER AMISH ARE ADVANCED TO YOUNG AMISH PERSONS, THEREBY ALLOWING THEM TO ESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN THE OLD ORDER AMISH COMMUNITY. CENTRAL TO THE ORGANIZATION'S PURPOSE IS THE RELIGIOUS MANDATE OF SHARING AND HELPING OTHERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND THE INTERRELIANCE OF THOSE WITHIN THE OLD ORDER AMISH COMMUNITY.
