Council grants tax‑exempt status to Present Help Ministries
Summary
Present Help Ministries asked for and received local real and personal property tax‑exempt status; the council praised the ministry’s services for homeless women, victims and families and approved the ordinance on the record.
Council considered a request from Present Help Ministries for designation as exempt from local real and personal property taxation. Alfreda Bennett (identified in the transcript as a leader/visionary with Present Help Ministries) described the nonprofit’s services, including emergency housing for homeless women, programs for victims of assault, and other wraparound services serving Danville and surrounding counties.
Council moved to adopt an ordinance granting Present Help Ministries tax‑exempt status. Council members expressed strong support for the ministry’s work and encouraged the group to briefly describe its programs at the podium so the public could learn about their services. The council’s roll call recorded affirmative votes and the ordinance was adopted.
What’s next: staff will process the formal exemption paperwork and follow standard administrative procedures for local tax‑exempt designations.
