Christian Community Action's Crisis Management Services are designed to meet the immediate, critical needs of families or individuals during crisis. This is done through services designed to assist families in overcoming challenges of changes to the family structure, unemployment or under-employment, major illness, or any situation that limits a family's stability. These services seek to provide support through:
- Homelessness prevention
- Housing stability
- Utility support
- Transportation assistance
- Inclement weather interventions
- Access to clothing
- Community referrals
We're also committed to providing additional relief services, including:
- Summer relief
- School readiness programs
- Golden Angels (Senior Support Group)
We also provide Food Services, which is a fully stocked, self-selection grocery store that serves an individual or families' needs.
Shopping hours are by appointment only, with Mondays reserved for our Golden Angels (seniors).
