Services Center

The Capuchin Services Center serves as the distribution site for appliances and furniture for families reestablishing households after a fire or  a stay in a shelter, and emergency food and clothing for anyone in need. There are no geographic eligibility criteria; however, all recipients of service are interviewed by an emergency assistance worker.  Identification must be provided for all individuals for whom assistance is requested. Families are eligible for food assistance every thirty days, and receive sufficient food to feed a family of four for a week. A typical food package contains ten pounds of meat, canned and boxed dry goods, fresh produce and fruit.

Case management services are provided by degreed social workers, and support groups are offered for mothers and grandparents raising grandchildren.

Donations of food, clothing and appliances and furniture in good condition are gratefully accepted.
