Products:
The families that are served by Gifts of Love’s programs face a short-term crisis in their lives due to reduced working hours, illness, divorce, death of a spouse/mate, domestic abuse, or a significant unexpected increase in expenses. By helping clients meet their families’ most basic needs – food on the table, a winter coat, or a bed to sleep in – we enable them to focus on putting their lives back in order and regaining their independence. All support is provided free of charge.
Services:
Gifts of Love provides basic needs -- food, clothing, furniture, household items, energy assistance – but in many cases, someone in the household is working. In addition to the working poor we are now seeing the newly poor - the households going from 2 incomes to one because of recent layoffs. This means an increase in need from those who never needed help before. When times are toughest, the working poor, newly poor and hidden poor who don't qualify for many government programs are often hit the hardest. And even when they do qualify, they are unsure where to turn.
