Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, we are able to offer limited assistance to local residents for an emergency overnight hotel stay, food, utilities, or some rental assistance to prevent eviction. Our Admininstrative Assistant, Rita Klock, carefully screens each individual and ensures that we are not duplicating services, by using the real time HMIS software (Homeless Management Information System that indicates what other local churches and not-for- profit agencies are doing when it comes to assisting our neighbor. This ministry also includes appropriate referral to local agencies or professionals for those needs that are beyond our ability to adequately address.
