Request for limited financial assistance requires completion of attached form.  Applicants need to call and set up an appointment on the following days: Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.  Application requests are submitted to our Board on Thursday afternoon for decisions based on available funds.  Clients are notified of decisions as quickly as possible.   

Assistance is provided by household even if multiple families or unrelated adults live at the same address.  Payments are made directly to a utility company, landlord, etc.  For some requests it may be necessary to contact additional agencies, landlords, utility companies, etc., to verify information or make payment arrangements.

Advocacy & Resources

Referrals may be made to other agencies and organizations for needs that are better served by those organizations.  In addition to material and emotional assistance, one of our founding offerings is spiritual support.  Through the pure and simple power of prayer, you can help yourself or a neighbor in need find strength, hope and guidance.
