Programs We Offer

Care Program

The Care Program provides a few services where a neighbor will meet one on one with either a Care Advocate or Budget Counselor (if they are referred).
During a meeting, the Care Advocate will pray with them, review their budget, identify useful resources, and help them take their next steps. Their Care Advocate will also complete paperwork for financial assistance if she/he determines it would be beneficial for them. We value self-reliance and life transformation, so be prepared for more than just a handout. Expect your appointment to last 30-45 minutes.

If you would like to receive assistance from our Care Program, you can either call (636) 561-5680 Ext. 151 and leave a message
or click  here to digitally fill out a request form.
