Emergency Family Relief

Each year we find ourselves faced with homeless youth and families in crisis. Since 2014 we have been able to provide resources to help families get on their feet. Through support of partners and donors guide the families in the steps to gain or keep housing. Relief can also include  rent, utilities, motel, food, transportation, funeral costs or phone. With the Family Relief Fund we are able to reach out and help in these and other emergency situations. Our goal is to help bridge the gap in hard times.
