Referral And Advocacy
Our volunteers are trained to provide referrals to help our clients identify and apply for both government and private programs that provide financial and non-financial (e.g. food and career counseling) assistance to those in need. Please read the following testimonial about this program:
"Your services helped me when I needed them the most. They also informed me of other resources that I could use. They didn't have to do that, but they were there to point me in the right direction.”
