Mercer County Households earning up to 200% of poverty level who are in need of assistance can contact Our Home Family Resource Center to discuss their needs and the options that are available to meet those needs. Through Direct Services & Referral, financial assistance can be provided to avoid eviction, to halt utility shutoff, to cover unmet medical expenses, to cover cost of emergency shelter and can also extended to people who need resources to cover home repairs, travel/gas expenses, and prescription costs.
In addition to direct financial assistance, the Direct Services & Referral program offers a food pantry stocked with canned fruits and vegetables, meat, pastas, soup, milk, and other assorted items - the pantry also offers personal care items such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, baby food & diapers, and toilet paper. Folks on fixed or limited budgets are encouraged to visit the food pantry monthly because saving money on food and basic needs frees up financial resources for rent/mortgage, utilities, and other expenses. #livingwage #poverty #compassion #community
Last year, over 400 individuals – both kids and adults – received coats, hats or gloves through Winter Warmth Day, and this year we expect an equal or greater need.
Please consider "sharing the warmth" by donating new or gently used coats, gloves/mittens, and hats by Oct. 22. You can bring them to Our Home at 117 W. Fayette St. in Celina, or drop them into Winter Warmth Day collection boxes located in area businesses across the county.
Winter Warmth Day will be held on Saturday, October 27, from 9-11am, at 1107 N Main St, Celina (in the Chief Shopping Center, next to F45 Fitness).
