The reasons for need are numerous, but for many persons it is a choice between food and heat or medications; it may be a delayed or stolen check or it could be an abandoned person who has no other means. While the reasons are varied, the needs are real.
Over 1,500 people are served each month.
More than 1/3 of those we help are children.
Assistance is offered to individuals and families without concern for race, creed, or country of origin.
