Share’s Financial Assistance Program provides emergency financial assistance to neighbors facing urgent needs, including help with rent, utilities, medical services, prescriptions, and other essential expenses. Even in a prosperous community, many individuals and families live paycheck to paycheck, or may experience job loss or an unexpected family crisis and need a temporary hand up.  In addition, local school counselors may request assistance on behalf of students who are unable to afford participation in extracurricular activities or other school-based programs.

 

Payment is made to the vendor and never directly to the client.
