Sustaining Assistance
This type of assistance is typically ongoing and often provides the critical psychological, spiritual and material difference to sustain hope for the working poor and other marginalized individuals and families. Food Pantry distributions are held in many Corps on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis, usually for senior citizens or the working poor. The food is “emergency assistance” that sustains health to those who could not otherwise afford it.
