Qualifications 

QUALIFICATIONS TO RECEIVE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPOINTMENT

While we accept walk-ins for emergency food for those who fail to qualify for public food assistance and information, an appointment is needed for financial assistance.


These are the first four steps for qualification:

  • A referral from the Division of Human Services
  • You must live or work in Union County
  • You must have proof of employment or proof that you are receiving Social Security or disability
  • During the past 12 months, you cannot have received financial assistance from Union County Crisis Assistance Ministry

 

Verification Process 

Please read and make sure you understand our verification process.

All information that you provide to us will be verified.

Being less than truthful will prevent you from receiving assistance.

An appointment doesn’t mean you will receive financial assistance.

An appointment can last up to 60 minutes and includes budget counseling.

If you receive an appointment, here’s what you must provide:

  • Copies of a lease or mortgage agreement.

  • If you get assistance, the payment goes to a landlord or utility company.

  • A copy of pay stubs for last 2 weeks or award letters (on paper) for disability or social security for all working adults in the family.

  • PLEASE NOTE: If your crisis is related to COVID you may be asked to provide your most recent tax returns to process your case. 

  • For Rent or Mortgage Assistance: A written statement of how much is owed to date plus the landlord’s email or FAX number.

Financial Education 

At Union County Crisis Assistance Ministry, we provide one-on-one financial coaching.

This is a great way to get a personalized look at your specific situation in a non-judgmental atmosphere.

Community outreach provides financial experts to speak at your organization's next event by working with our community partners.

Financial literacy workshops provide information on a variety of topics such as:

  • debt reduction
  • improving credit
  • starting your own business
  • couponing
  • owning your own home.

Classes are offered in a fun and inviting atmosphere and are open to the public free of charge.
