Mission Arlington emergency assistance supports families in crisis. Our service operation stays open six days each week, in order to be here when people need help. This is especially important for families with working adults. Crises in people's lives happen all times of day and night, and we want to be here to help. Childcare is provided for parents when they are on our campus receiving assistance.
Here are a few of the ways we can help:
Food and Clothing:
Groceries: We supply individuals and families with short-term supplies of groceries designed to last for several days, based on family size.
Clothing: We provide clothes and shoes for children, youth, and adults
Financial Assistance:
- Rent: Assists with partial rent payments in order to help families through a crisis, and/or to prevent a family from losing the stability that a home provides.
- Utilities: We work with utility companies to provide partial payments to help keep a family's utilities (electricity, water, gas, etc.) on, so that they will be able to stay in the home.
- Prescriptions: We partner with our medical clinic to provide medications for people free of charge, and on a limited basis we help to pay a portion of a prescription cost to help a family obtain the medicine they need.
- Gas Vouchers: We also help with gas vouchers to assist someone with transportation to and from a job interview.
