How It Works

All community members are welcome. Our guests sit down with 3 Alms ministers to share their story and their needs for support. We help by providing financial assistance and information about available resources. Guests are eligible for our financial support once every 6 months. Guests are warmly welcomed with a cup of coffee/tea; along with toys, books, and treats for the kids.
