How can a family receive services from the Samaritan Center?
The first step to determine eligibility for services is verification that they are either low-income or experiencing a medical emergency or crisis that has left them temporarily in need of help. USDA commodities are given to families once a month. We recommend that they only come once a month for pantry food also. However, we add that we do not want the children to be hungry so they should come back if they have a need. Families may receive financial assistance (for example, when they have a disconnect notice for their utilities) once every 12 months.
