Our emergency assistance program meets the immediate needs of the poor and marginalized of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We operate the Coast’s only client-choice food pantry, provide help with utilities, assist with prescription medicine, and help with vital documents.

More than meeting immediate needs, we also help people begin their journeys out of poverty. We provide case management and financial assistance to help them get back on their feet.

For many of the people we serve, emergency assistance is the first step on the road to a better life.
