Your Dollars in Action: Real Support for Real Lives Through Emergency Assistance

We all know life throws curveballs. A sudden car repair can throw off your budget, an unexpected medical bill can feel crushing, or a utility shut-off notice can be terrifying. These are very real challenges that can quickly push a family to the brink.

Our founder, Geneva High, truly understood this. Her vision wasn't just about putting food on the table, though that's incredibly important. She saw the bigger picture that a seemingly small crisis could snowball into something much larger. She knew that a bit of help at the right moment could make all the difference in keeping someone employed, preventing crushing debt, or simply keeping the lights on. It's about stepping in quickly to avoid a bad situation from escalating significantly.

This is precisely what our Emergency Assistance program does. When you contribute, your generosity isn't just a donation; it's a direct lifeline for families facing immediate hardship. We're talking about keeping homes stable by helping with rent or utility bills to prevent evictions or service disconnections. Imagine the relief of knowing your family won't lose their home because of one unexpected expense. We also focus on staying connected to work, covering car repairs or transportation costs so someone can keep their job, attend vital appointments, and maintain their independence. We also assist individuals in navigating health crises by helping with medical bills and prescriptions when illness occurs and finances are tight. Additionally, we are prepared to support families with unforeseen challenges that can disrupt their stability.

The impact? It's huge. In 2024, thanks to our fantastic community, we were able to provide various forms of Emergency Assistance to over 2,800 individuals. Your support doesn't just offer a temporary fix. It creates a vital breathing room. It helps individuals and families regain stability, prevent deeper crises, and establish a more secure foundation for the future.

Every dollar you contribute to our Emergency Assistance program is an investment in human dignity and the well-being of our community. It demonstrates that no one has to face tough times alone. This is Geneva's vision in action, making a tangible difference in the lives of real people every day.
