The Emergency Aid Network

The program helps people in need, congregations and other agencies avoid duplicate efforts by centralizing services at ARC which include:

• Intake and needs assessment
• screening and documentation
• Budget Coaching
• Fundraising and Bookkeeping
• Emergency Assistance and reporting to the community

The Emergency Aid Network provides an emergency grant to individuals or families in the greater Danbury area experiencing an emergency ~ perhaps a paycheck had to go to medical bill, or there was loss of bread-winner, or employment was interrupted.

Grants are for basic necessities specifically: utility assistance, car repair for transportation to work or uniforms/work boots for work.

Checks are generally available within 30 minutes, to meet the need for emergency assistance.

   All applicants should contact Jen Moles, 203-792-9450 ext. 104 to set up    an appointment.
