Emergency Assistance
Practical help when unexpected circumstances create hardship.
An unexpected setback can put a strain on even a financially stable household. A job interruption, unexpected expense, household emergency, or other difficult circumstance can leave people struggling to meet an immediate need.
Friends of Jesus Community Services seeks to help individuals and families in our community navigate these challenging moments by providing practical assistance when resources are limited and other options may be unavailable.
How We Help
Depending on available resources and individual circumstances, assistance may include:
Essential Items: Help obtaining basic household necessities and other essential items.
Emergency Support: Limited assistance in response to unexpected hardships.
Community Outreach: Practical help with certain household and neighborhood needs.
Who We Serve
Our focus is on individuals and families experiencing a temporary hardship or unexpected setback, including those who may not qualify for traditional public assistance but still need a helping hand.
We recognize that difficult circumstances can affect anyone. Requests are considered individually, based on the nature of the need and the resources available.
