HELP
(Help in Emergencies and Long-term
Planning) is a partnership with
local churches, providing food,
financial assistance, and long-term
planning to persons in need. The
program is designed to give emergency
assistance and to follow up that
assistance with help in securing
resources to reach stability.

Pantry is open from 9:00
A.M. to 12:00 P.M., Tuesday through
