Protecting families from eviction and keeping them in their homes during unexpected crises

At Crisis Assistance Ministry, our commitment lies in helping mothers, children, and seniors in our community who are experiencing financial difficulties.

We understand that life can throw unexpected challenges our way, and sometimes, a little support can be crucial in preventing homelessness and ensuring stability.

Our Mission: We offer emergency support to families facing eviction by providing financial assistance, case management, and access to essential resources that enable them to stay in their homes. Through our caring services, we strive to promote stability, independence, and a hopeful future.
