Each of our offices - in Valparaiso and Portage - have a deep commitment to helping the temporarily disadvantaged low income, senior citizens, disabled, and others facing a hardship in Porter County, IN. We are a conscientious, well-managed organization that can provide clothing and furniture vouchers, temporary shelter locations, and a needed payment to prevent utility turn-off or for a month's rent. Often churches don't have the resources to screen all those who are in need. So the churches, and other organizations, refer those in need to us. We screen to get to the heart of their needs and provide help at the point of need. We also offer financial education and spiritual counseling.
