Starting August 4, 2008, The Emergency Aid Coalition will be open Monday evenings from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm to serve FAMILIES ONLY.

The EAC will begin opening every Monday evening to accommodate the food and clothing needs of low income working clients who, despite employment, struggle to provide even the basic necessities for their families. Many families are unable to access our services because they may jeopardize whatever income they have by taking off work in the daytime.
Client Information

We are now actively recruiting teams to work in the Food Pantry and Clothing Center on Monday evenings. Ideally, each team of 6 to 10 volunteers will commit to provide volunteer coverage for one Monday each month for a year. Of course, we also welcome individual volunteers aged 16 and up who would like to commit to a Monday evening.
