Many referrals are made from the Food Stamp Program; we assist clients with food pending the approval of their Food Stamps. Anyone in need of food is eligible to receive food assistance. Assistance is given every six months per household/person. This program helps ease the financial burden of purchasing groceries, giving families an opportunity to become financially stable.

Through this program, children and parents are properly clothed and individuals are able to secure employment by obtaining necessary clothing and shoes.
