Services
Food
We receive a large amount of food from church and organizational
food drives. We also purchase items so that our clients can be
assured of getting a well-balanced variety of foods.
Clothing:
Thanks to the generosity of the community, we have an abundance
of most kinds of clothing. One of our usual shortages is in
children's clothing. Clients are usually able to choose 5 to 7
outfits for each family member.
School Supplies
During the summer we have a special program for providing
supplies to children who might otherwise go to school without
any. We also have supplies on hand year round and can dispense
them when there is a need.
Other Assistance
When we have the funds available, we are able to offer
assistance in a limited way with utilities, prescriptions, gas,
temporary lodging, etc. This assistance is considered on a case
to case basis, depending on the individual situation. (We can
NOT pay for any deposit on utilities or housing).
Referrals
Finally, if we cannot help someone with the problems that they
bring to us, we can refer them to someone who can. We have a
list of agencies and organizations on hand and try to stay
current on the assistance offered by them. |
