The Crisis/Caring Connection

Over the years, we have become the first stop for help in the midst of a crisis and the last stop for help when traditional support programs are unable to help. We offer an immediate response to human needs while others may take weeks, even months to process requests for aid. Daily essentials such as medication, utility bills, children's clothing, the list is endless in terms of what we've been asked to help. We try to assess and address the immediate crisis and turn to partners for assistance and referral when necessary.
