Helping Families Stay in Their Homes

The Vital Work of Crisis Assistance Ministry

In times of hardship, many families face the looming threat of eviction, unable to make rent or utility payments due to unexpected financial challenges.

Whether it’s job loss, medical emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances, these situations can feel overwhelming. That’s where organizations like Crisis Assistance Ministry come in. We work tirelessly to ensure that families have the support they need to remain in their homes and avoid the devastating consequences of eviction. Through our services and your support, we can create a community where no family is left behind.

The Mission of Crisis Assistance Ministry

Crisis Assistance Ministry is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial support, resources, and guidance to families facing housing instability. We believe that no one should have to worry about losing their home due to a temporary setback, and we work to prevent evictions by offering financial assistance and access to vital services.

Our goal is to give families a chance to regain their footing, build stability, and navigate their way back to self-sufficiency. With compassion and dedication, we serve families in crisis, making sure they stay in their homes, regain their independence, and avoid the cycle of homelessness that can be difficult to escape.

How We Help Families Avoid Eviction

The services provided by Crisis Assistance Ministry are crucial in helping families avoid eviction and maintain their housing. Some of the key ways we assist include:

Rental and Utility Assistance
For many families, a missed payment can quickly spiral into an eviction notice. Crisis Assistance Ministry offers rental and utility payment assistance to help families who are at risk of being evicted. We work with families to provide financial support for rent or utility bills, ensuring that they don’t face the stress and trauma of losing their home.

Emergency Financial Assistance
Whether it’s for rent, utilities, or other living expenses, our emergency financial assistance program helps families stay afloat during tough times. We understand that life’s challenges don’t always come with notice, and our support is designed to provide quick relief to prevent families from falling into deeper crises.

Case Management Services
Beyond providing immediate financial help, our team of case managers works closely with families to assess their unique needs. Through individualized case management, we help families connect to additional resources, budget effectively, and find long-term solutions that promote financial stability.

Access to Community Resources
Crisis Assistance Ministry doesn’t just focus on financial aid. We also connect families to a wide range of community resources, including food assistance, job training programs, healthcare access, and more. These services are designed to help families build resilience and prevent future crises.

Ways You Can Volunteer to Make a Difference

Crisis Assistance Ministry’s work relies heavily on the support of volunteers, who help us provide critical services to families in need. If you are looking for ways to give back to your community and help families stay in their homes, here are some ways you can volunteer with us:

Assisting with Client Intake
Volunteers help families complete intake paperwork and provide them with information about available services. This role is essential for getting families the assistance they need as quickly as possible. No experience is necessary, and training is provided.

Distribution of Assistance
Volunteers also help distribute rental or utility assistance funds and groceries to families. This role is vital in ensuring that families receive the resources they need in a timely manner.

Fundraising and Events
To keep our services running, Crisis Assistance Ministry depends on fundraising efforts and special events. Volunteers can assist with planning, organizing, and running events that help raise money and awareness for the cause. Whether it’s a silent auction, benefit concert, or charity run, your efforts will have a direct impact on our ability to serve families in crisis.

Outreach and Advocacy
Volunteers can assist with outreach efforts, raising awareness about the challenges families face when they’re on the brink of eviction. By helping to spread the word about our services, we can connect with more families in need and ensure that no one has to face eviction alone.

Administrative Support
Behind the scenes, administrative volunteers help with tasks such as data entry, answering phone calls, and organizing records. These roles are crucial in keeping our operations running smoothly and ensuring that we can serve as many families as possible.

How You Can Contribute Financially

If you are unable to volunteer your time, monetary donations are always needed to keep our services available. Even a small contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of families at risk of losing their homes. Donations help fund our rental and utility assistance programs, case management services, and overall operations.

There are also opportunities to make one-time or recurring donations, or even create a fundraising campaign within your network. Every dollar makes an impact.

With your help—whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word—we can prevent evictions and ensure that families have the resources they need to stay in their homes and build brighter futures.
