Crisis Stabilization Program — this core program provides those in emergency situations with resources to address their immediate need, works to identify the chronic underlying issues, and provide long-term support to address them through a case management model. Member Share Grocery Program (MSGP) — MSGP is a dignified food and household assistance program where income -qualified members can personally select the food, hygiene, and household items their family needs. Membership is free and available to households that fall at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Members contribute a small handling fee per item to help offset fuel, freight, warehouse, and overhead costs, which allow the MSGP to be self -sustainable. This meaningful exchange is part of our Hand UP model that is designed to restore dignity and teach empowerment rather than entitlement. Families may visit as often as they like, retaining up to 70% of their household food and product budget.

Each participant will have the opportunity to meet with a Workforce Developer that will focus on an individualized career plan, interview preparation and connection to employment opportunities that align with their career path. Once a participant has obtained employment, they are paired with a personal Success Coach. Together, the Success Coach and employed participant develop a Success Plan to ensure they excel in their current position and become a strong candidate for future career advancement opportunities.
