What We Do
Crisis Assistance Ministry is Mecklenburg County’s Lead Agency offering emergency assistance to low-income families. Crisis Assistance Ministry helps families facing financial crisis by: providing for basic needs with rent and utility assistance, clothing, household goods, furniture, beds, and appliances; fostering financial stability through partnerships, counseling, and support to give families the tools they need to reach for economic mobility; and educating the community about the realities of poverty in Mecklenburg County.

How We Are Impacted:
As the economic impact of COVID-19 continues to widen, more families will need help to afford rent, utilities, and other basic needs.
How You Can Help:
In order to meet those needs, additional financial resources will be needed. Thanks to generous neighbors coming together, financial contributions are currently being matched now through April 30 (up to $250,000) at http://crisisassistance.org/challenge
