What are the most immediate needs to support your organization?
Over the past several years our families’ ability to meet their basic needs has decreased. The costs of groceries, prescriptions, car repairs and critical home repairs have reached a record high. Current inflation has left families with additional concerns. The families we assist have low cash buffers and have suffered the most economic impact. Our organization has experienced increased costs for materials for each repair we complete. With local financial support, we will be able to continue to meet this critical need at no cost to those we serve.
