Gas cards
A tank of gas is often the difference between keeping a job and losing it. Gas cards cover the drive to work, school, court dates, and medical appointments when the money is not there this week.
Five things we do fast. Referral only.
We deliver rapid, practical assistance through trusted referrers. Every request comes to us from a case manager, social worker, school staff member, or partner agency already working with the family.
What each one covers
Bus passes
MetroLink passes for families without a car. We get them out quickly so a missed shift or a missed appointment does not turn into a bigger crisis.
Emergency grocery delivery
Most pantries keep weekday hours. When a family runs out of food on a Friday night or a Sunday, we deliver groceries so the kids eat before Monday.
Utility disconnection diversion
A cutoff notice has a date on it. We work against that date, paying toward the balance or connecting the family to the agency that can, so the lights and heat stay on.
Homelessness diversion
When a family is days from losing housing, a small, well-timed intervention can keep them in place. We help with the gap and the connection to longer-term housing programs.
