We screen applicants, serve by appointment, and evaluate each family and situation individually for counseling, clothes, car seats, and financial assistance. After we have helped a family, they are required to participate in our Life Skills Education program, through which they learn personal finance and budgeting practices in order to avoid another financial crisis. 1049 were served during the fiscal year and 549 individuals completed our education classes.
