Faith assists needy individuals and families in crisis through its relief or emergency temporary programs. Need is evaluated using financial criteria without bias. The crisis is usually rent, utilities, medical, legal and/or automotive. Emergency assistance is provided one-time, once a year with budget counseling. Temporary assistance is provided for 3-6 months for clients having a short-term difficulty such as being laid off or having illness. Faith also makes food available to emergency walk-ins through its food pantry (program listed in 4d) and may provide vouchers for its thrift store (program also listed in 4d).
