Life Services Resources

Life Services Resource Program is designed to connect additional resources outside of food to families.  Additional resources and essential needs may include clothes, medicine resources, utilities, rent, mortgage, housing, etc. 

​

As we continue to serve adults, youth, and families in need, we have recognized that the Covid-19 has brought about even more needs.   During 2020 with the help of partners CCDN served approximately 1,818 over the summer of 2020, and by the end of the year of 2020, we gave served 3,600 families providing emergency food.

 

The impact of families served through December 2020 includes serving an additional:

1,000 bringing the total families served to 1,818

1,818 Families Served from June to December 2020

  • 290,880 lbs of Food provided

  • Dry Goods 145,440 lbs

  • Fresh Produce 145,440 lbs

 

The fight is not over, CCDN is now at a crossroads, and we need additional support to assist our clients.  We will continue to serve adults, youth, and families through 2021 by continuing our Life Services Program with the anticipation of serving 6,000.  This program serves families daily but essentially provides emergency food up to 160 lbs per month.

 

In addition to food, there is a need for additional resources.  Resources include rent and utility assistance, job resources, and education resources.
