Center Township La Porte
United Way
Without the support and funding that we received from United Way we would have more people living on the streets homeless. With the grant funding of $30,000 we were able to help with first month and deposit to house those that were currently homeless. We were able to fund more in rental assistance using the United Way and Township funding together.
Unity Foundation
This year again, we wrote a grant for emergency housing and our Crock-pot Friday classes. We received $3000.00 for each. With this funding we are able to put a client in a hotel until we can get them into shelter or housing. With the Crock-Pot funding we are able to continue this class and also take it into the school system again. This helps the students learn how to not only cook a meal in a crock-pot but also a meal that usually averages $5.00 or under.
