c.a.r.e.- caring assistance & relief for everyone

In Response to COVID-19
SVCM knows that as this health crisis evolves, there will be more and more need.  People who have lost their jobs are unable to pay their rent, mortgage, and utility bills.  We know that when this crisis is over, many will need this community’s help.  Please prayerfully consider donating to this fund.

food pantry/clothes closet

Our food pantry is available for clients to come through with a volunteer and choose what they want from the shelves based on availability and family size.  Our clothing room has men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing as well as shoes and small household items when available.

fuel/electricity

During the winter, our biggest client expense is assisting clients with heat and power. Many spend cold days and nights in unheated or under heated homes because they cannot afford to heat their homes. We also continue to provide help with small propane tanks, K-1, wood and gasoline for generators. Help us bring warmth and comfort to your neighbors in need.​

hope for tommorrow

Hope for Tomorrow provides housing for homeless moms and their children for one year.  Supporting this program helps provide safe, stable housing for these families.
