Marketplace Chaplains

Marketplace Chaplains provides a personalized and proactive employee care service on behalf of companies for employees and their families across North America on a 24/7 basis.  Chaplains listen, talk with, care for, pray for, respond to crises, and encourage all company employees and their families in one-on-one and/or electronic communications, regardless of their background.

Our chaplains reach out in a compassionate and loving manner, in the name of Jesus Christ, to individuals and families. They seek to give hope and practical help to hurting hearts.  Every week, we are called by individuals, organizations, and even companies we don't serve to respond to a shooting, suicide, sudden death, or natural disaster.  Our chaplains are then able to distribute gas cards, buy food/water, pay a hotel bill, purchase new clothes, or any other need employees have.

When the school shooting devastated the town of Uvalde in May of 2022, we were there for over a month and a half, providing food, water, and medical help to employees in need.  It was the deadliest school shooting in the United States in a decade:  19 elementary school children and two teachers were killed. Marketplace Chaplains responded immediately to calls we received from companies in Uvalde by dispatching 13 chaplains, who began rotating 24/7 to support the funeral home staff and families of the victims of the Uvalde shootings.  We put up chaplains in local hotels for weeks, beginning May 24th, the day of the tragedy.

Our chaplains helped serve by feeding, meeting with, praying over, and caring for every family that welcomed us at their funerals.  As one time of visitation ended, another was gearing up.  We continued to serve at the funeral home until the last funeral.  Our chaplains helped in as many ways as they could:  they cleaned up fallen flower petals, moved flower arrangements and family keepsakes, emptied trash, built and repaired broken tables, and finally attended Rosary services every night to support the families of this community.  Our chaplains are still in Uvalde, serving individuals and families as the need arises.

Hurricane Ian hit Florida so hard in September of 2022 that it wiped out entire neighborhoods, swept away beaches, and damaged homes in roof-deep waters. It was one of the strongest hurricanes to ever make landfall in southwest Florida, killing more than 100 people, and making it the third-deadliest storm to hit the United States this century.  Ian caused billions of dollars in damage and knocked out power to 2.6 million.  Marketplace Chaplains responded immediately, sending our Crisis Relief Field Bag and supplies to our team leaders in Florida to equip our 300+ chaplains to be ready to serve any of the 250,000 employees, residents, and patients we care for in the Southeast Region which could be impacted by Hurricane Ian.

On a Friday in December of 2021, a deadly storm system raged across the Midwestern and Southern parts of the United States.  Tornadoes caused catastrophic damage in many areas-none more so than in the town of Mayfield, Kentucky.  Thousands lost their homes, the power was out, and the roads were nearly impassable.  A local Marketplace Chaplains team emerged, not focused on themselves and their tragedies, but on how to get to work helping client company employees, neighbors, and friends.  Our chaplain team in the area worked with their hands to recover people from the wreckage.  These chaplains were a beacon of light and a critical source of information for the immediate needs of employees, their families, and the community.
