About
Basic subsistence programs are instrumental in providing people of all ages with basic needs through educational health and nutritional classes, and serving over 10,000 hot nutritional meals in our community soup kitchen, senior citizens center and kids cafe, as well as a distribution site for surplus food in collaboration with the local food banks. Basic needs assistance is further enhanced through the emergency assistance programs designed to help families pay their utility bills, rent and mortgages.
