Support Services
In our ‘community’s approach to caring’ we ensure that there are services reflecting the full scope of how need is experienced. Because a family facing hunger may face other traumatic situations, we ensure that our program offerings extend beyond emergency food. We offer the following social services:
- Referrals to employment training
- Summer Camp for low income families
- Computer Training for adults and seniors
- Financial Workshops for families
- Dental, Health and Vision Checkups by BSCAH Health Partners
- Food Stamp Screenings
- Fitness Classes
- Enrollment for Publicly Supported Health Insurance
