In a May 1 Op-Ed published in the Houston Chronicle, a group of faith leaders suggest that stimulus check recipients “consider donating their stimulus to an especially needy group — our refugee neighbors.”
As faith leaders, “we have been approached by some of our congregants who are fortunate not to need the stimulus payment. They are comfortably employed or retired. They have ample savings. They see the stimulus payment as a tax policy whose benefit they would prefer to share with those truly in need,” wrote Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, Rabbi Oren J. Hayon, Sheikh Joe Bradford and Venerable Hung-I.
“We would like to propose that those in this situation consider donating their stimulus to an especially needy group — our refugee neighbors,” the faith leaders wrote.
