Our Mission

To assist low income families with food and other basic needs and to address emergency crisis situations for members of the community.

The ways we help

Food:  We can supply 3-5 days worth of emergency foods to a family or individual, using USDA commodities and food donated by local people.

Eviction Prevention: one time rent assistance using EFSP funds.

Utility assistance:  Share the Warmth applications taken.

Food Stamp applications are now available at Turning Point.  Thanks to a new working agreement with the food stamp office we can expedite the process for you to receive food stamps and reduce the number of trips you need to make to St. Helens to complete the application process.    Come in and talk to Sandy to learn all about it.
