Im finding out why the churches dont do much charity work anymore: the liability and the laws are written against them. I looked into liability insurance today. I was basically told no and if someone were to underwrite it, it would be extremely expensive. So i cant even do anything to protect against slipping on a step or ice. It makes me not want to do it, but I had to sign a lease for the space so I could apply for the charity of another non profit. Its so ridiculous! I just want to help people out. Im not getting any compensation for this. Most of the funding has come out of my tithe. I had one person contribute to crowdfunding, but that barely covered the address registration. With church attendance and tithing so low, I dont know how these food pantries do it. Ok. Thank you for listening. Rant over.

That was the only way he could take the legal risk off of himself.
Are you using a registered legal entity for all the contracts? If you use the correct one (I think a Trust should work, but do find out what is best in your territory) then the liability remains with the legal entity and not yourself. If you for instance use a limited liability company in the UK then you as director are held legally accountable.
