What happens if...

You live paycheck to paycheck.  Your resources are stretched thin.
You are just barely able to make ends meet in this economy.  Then it happens...

Your car breaks down.
Your spouse gets sick and can't work.
You are diagnosed with an illness that keeps you from working.
You lose a loved one.
or  _____________________

These things happen.  And when you are living on a shoestring budget, or no budget at all, these events throw your finances into a downward spiral.  

This is when we can step in. 
Make a confidential appointment today and speak to someone about ways we can help. 

Then, you will see you aren't alone and you have resources available to you.


The Emergency Assistance Program offers confidential and compassionate assessment of a client’s unique situation and connects them with the resources available to meet their needs.

We work in close partnership with our local churches and agencies to meet the varied needs of our community.
