Direct emergency assistance for low-income people including the elderly, ill, and disabled may be available depending on current funds, and will require one to complete a file with Cheney Outreach Center.  Please call to see what documents you may need to bring in.  Direct emergency assistance includes utility bill payment assistance, rent payment assistance, medical prescription cost assistance, bus passes, and gas vouchers for those who need to get to work or an appointment.  Employment and appointments will be verified.  Gas vouchers require a current driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.  The insurance company will be called to verify the insurance is current.  Proof of residence in our service area is required for all direct emergency assistance.

Cheney Outreach Center also offers three children’s programs:  scholarships for parks and recreation activities, school supplies, and Christmas gifts for children.  As with other assistance, these programs require residence in our service area as well as other documentation; call to see what is needed.

Vouchers may be available for food, household, and personal needs.  We also have hygiene items available.  When applying for assistance, you have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, with no discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color, family status, national origin, or disability.  Outreach complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1965.
