CASH DONATIONS

We receive funding from local, state and federal grants. However, with continuous budget cuts and increasing energy costs, these funds run short and the needs of some low-income families go unmet. Another hurdle is that some grants require a cash match. For instance, each year a cash match of nearly $30,000 is needed for our Crossroads Shelter for Homeless Women and Children. Our Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) also welcomes cash donations to help meet its required cash match.

HOLIDAY GIFTS

We help provide low-income children with holiday gifts. We need families and organizations to “Adopt-A-Child” during the holidays.

RAISE AWARENESS

An easy way to help low-income families is by raising awareness in the community. We encourage you to write your politicians about poverty in our community. Another option is to invite a representative of the Community Action Agency to speak to your organization.
