The purpose of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program is to provide supplements and expand ongoing work of local nonprofits and governmental social service organizations to provide shelter, food, and supportive services to individuals and families who are experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, hunger and/or homelessness.
The program's objectives are to:
- Allocate funds to the greatest needs of our area
- Ensure fast response
- Foster public/private sector cooperation
- Ensure local decision-making
- Maintain minimal, but accountable, reporting.
