  • Advocacy And Food Pantry Program

    THE ADVOCACY AND FOOD PANTRY PROGRAMS HELP FAMILIES MEET THEIR NEED FOR FOOD AND ADDRESSES LONGER-TERM ISSUES OF LIVING IN POVERTY. OUR ADVOCATES EDUCATE FAMILIES ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS AND EMPOWER THEM TO ACCESS NEEDED SERVICES AND RESOURCES. WE ASSIST FAMILIES WITH PUBLIC BENEFITS APPLICATIONS (INCLUDING SNAP ENROLLMENT), REFER THEM TO LSA AND OTHER PROGRAMS, PROVIDE CONNECTION TO IMMIGRATION LEGAL APPOINTMENTS AND HELP TENANTS AVOID EVICTION AND GET NEEDED REPAIRS TO MAINTAIN A SAFE HOME. VISITORS TO OUR FOOD PANTRY RECEIVE FRESH AND HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AFTER MEETING WITH AN LSA ADVOCATE WHO EVALUATES THE FULL EXTENT OF THEIR NEEDS.
