Programs to Support You

Family Services

Working parents and students have peace of mind knowing that we can help cover the cost of child care. Our own preschools are safe, inclusive, and play-based!

We make nutritious foods accessible to our rural communities. Now operating as a drive-thru food pantry, be sure to check our schedule!

Housing & Homeless Services

Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. From emergency shelter to rental assistance to affordable apartments, let us help you with your next step.

Energy Assistance

Nobody should have to choose between keeping their home comfortable and buying necessities. We can help pay your energy bill AND make your home more energy-efficient.

Other Services

We offer emergency services for those affected by natural disasters, and free tax aide through the AARP Foundation.
