Interfaith Works - Congregation & Community Emergency Support

Congregation & Community Emergency Support works with neighbors in financial crisis to provide a safety net. The Hand to Hand and Unmet Needs programs prevent evictions and utility cutoffs through loans and grants. The program provides struggling families with interest-free loans that are repaid in cash or through volunteer service, and distributes cash grants for emergencies, such as unpaid medical or utility bills. Referral forms for these programs are available through the CCES office. Referral Forms, with documentation completed by a county, nonprofit, or congregation caseworker, are required for financial assistance through Hand to Hand Project Safety Net and the Unmet Needs Fund.
