Sometimes the immediate need of a family or individual in crisis is not food. They may need help with diapers, formula, housing costs, utilities, gas to get to work, vehicle repairs, or prescription medications. Depending on the demonstrated emergency need HFS may be able to help in these situations.

You will be required to show a photo I.D. and a current piece of mail postmarked within the last two weeks as well as knowledge of income and expenses for your entire household.
