Sometimes we find ourselves in need of help, many times due to situations beyond our control. It’s our mission is to reach out to individuals during the trying times and give a helping hand up. We offer many types of emergency assistance to our clients.
Food pantries
In order to meet the ongoing daily demands for food and emergency assistance, Tyler strives to keep well-stocked food pantries. Families and individuals, as well as senior citizens, are eligible to receive food boxes containing nutritious food items (canned food, dried goods, bread, frozen meats, etc.) to meet their needs for several days.
Rent/Utility Assistance
Studies show it is infinitely easier to keep a person or family in their home than it is to re-establish a residence for a person or family once they have become homeless. For those who find themselves in the middle of an unexpected crisis, money for rent and utility bill payments may be just the thing to prevent them from losing their home.
Clothing and Household Goods
For people needing emergency clothing, household goods or furniture, vouchers may be offered by one of our social service caseworkers. The voucher can be used at one of our local thrift store or designated retail outlet to purchase the items they need.
