We are sharing resources that we have found especially helpful when looking for the assistance that is available to you.
Food Assistance for Free or Reduced Lunch
If you have a child that receives free or reduced lunch, contact your local public school for meal options.
The AuntBertha website provides a way to search for help within your zip code. The site also has done a great job of staying up to date on new resources that are available in response to coronavirus. AuntBertha offers resources for food, housing, utilities, Internet access, phone access, and more.
The United Way is another organization that is always available and looking for new ways to assist those in need. Dial 2-1-1 is available to find community health and human service resources. It is a free, confidential telephone information and referral system that quickly links people seeking help with the community resources they need. You can call 2-1-1 any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to find resources relating to food, rent, utilities, family resources, and information pertaining to COVID-19.
