Alex was barely getting by working three different jobs when they were laid
off from their primary job. They picked up extra hours from their secondary
jobs, took on extra gigs, and asked friends and family for help while they
kept looking for more stable employment. They cobbled together as much
as she could from friends, family, and even other organizations, but it still wasn’t enough. Finally, they turned to you and me, through Crisis Assistance Ministry, to help fill in the gap.
With the support of neighbors like you, a caseworker was able to issue an
emergency rent payment, directly to Alex's landlord, to cover the remaining
balance and avert eviction just as fall temps set in here in the Queen City.
With the pressure of eviction relieved, Alex can now chart a path back to
stability over the coming months.
You can usually find Stacey in the warehouse working with volunteers to keep the Free Store stocked for families who shop free of charge each day. But what is her personal connection to our mission? What keeps her motivated as a part of the Crisis Assistance Ministry team?
Beyond the sumptuous feasts and festive parades, Thanksgiving embodies the power of community and the spirit of giving. Here at Crisis Assistance Ministry, we see that power every day as you reach into our lobby and offer help, hope, and understanding to neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet.
