Direct Assistance

We provide assistance to individuals and families facing hardship in several ways. Some are temporary, while others may be ongoing. All are intended to ensure those in need get the help they need to weather temporary challenges or improve their lives.

Utility Assistance:

Aid is available to qualified individuals and families for utilities, etc. This aid is provided in emergency situations once a year.

Food Pantry:

Individuals and families in need can get food once every 30 days.

Prescription Program:

Vouchers to have prescriptions from a doctor filled at a selected location for qualified individuals and families at no cost.

Rental assistance:

Aid is available on a temporary basis to help qualified families and individuals pay rent. This aid is made possible by a special grant and will no longer be available once the grant money has been depleted. We are a partner with Collier County Housing and Human Services.
