The Emergency Assistance Program (EACI) provides financial assistance to individuals and families faced with loss of a utility service or actual eviction from their homes due to economic hardship. The program offers one-time per year voucher payments to providers of essential utility and fuel services such as electricity, water, gas, wood and oil. In collaboration with other area agencies and organizations, the program also offers mortgage or rental assistance to prevent eviction and provides relocation support as needed.

 

A new initiative for EACI was started during the last fiscal year entitled the “Meds Project.” This initiative provided vouchers for clients allowing them to procure much needed prescription medication and supplies. Working in conjunction with local pharmacies, this program allowed clients to prevent, manage or stabilize such ailments as hypertension, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart condition, cancer management and many other diseases and illnesses.

 

Additional key components of the EACI program include management and distribution of items from our food pantry, clothing closets and a household supply storage facility. Working in conjunction with local food banks and grocery stores, we are able to supply individuals and families with basic food items (boxed and canned, fresh fruits and vegetables and meats) as well as household staples (soap, toilet paper, paper towels, basic toiletries and cleaning supplies). Area churches, organizations and individuals provide in-kind donations for our clothing closets and household furniture, linen, small appliance and necessity storage facility.
