Abstract:

Churches during the Depression experienced financial hardship and to keep these institutions afloat the Lord's Acre Plan was developed. Reverend Dumont Clarke, of Asheville, oversaw the plan which promoted the sale of agricultural products to raise money for impoverished churches. The program focused on rural religious institutions in the western portion of the state and by 1937, two hundred plus congregations from nine denominations and ten counties participated.
