Basic Needs

Supporting Basic Needs remains a foundation of our work. These needs include shelter, rent and utilities, food, health assistance/prescriptions, and safety from domestic violence. Without having their basic needs met children can’t learn in school, families can’t be financially stable, and individuals and families can’t enjoy good health.
