STRONGER TOGETHER

Welcome to GTSBC Foundation's Initiative To Assist Community Members With Housing and Food Insecurity.

 

Right now we are looking to collect donations for the Holiday Season. No family should be left out in the cold or hungry. Please join us in assisting the community as we are Stronger Together.

Initiatives
Housing Initiative

There are multiple ways to donate; Purchase a Sponsored Program, buy Reading Material or simply click the Donate Link. Your support is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Help will be in the form of a housing voucher. Send us a message using the Register for Assistance Link.

Food Insecurity Initiative
If you are experiencing problems getting approved for SNAP benefits, formerly known as EBT or Food Stamps, send us a message using the Register for Assistance Link and we will be more than happy to see if we can help you in getting your SNAP benefits approved. 

Latest News

For the month of December, our goal is to provide a one time housing voucher to 100 needy families.
No family-size is too large or too small. All donations collected in the coming months will assist with this initiative. 

 

Meals on Wheels

 

Meals on Wheels is a program that delivers nutritious meals to seniors and individuals in need. Eligibility typically includes:

  • Individuals aged 60 years and older. 
  • Those younger than 60 who are homebound and unable to prepare meals for themselves. 
  • Factors such as health and income may also influence eligibility.

Food Pantries

 

A food pantry is a community-based program or organization that provides food assistance to individuals and families in need. Unlike soup kitchens, which serve hot meals, food pantries distribute bags or boxes of food items that recipients can take home and prepare. They often receive supplies from food banks and are open to anyone in the community without requiring referrals. 

Warming Shelters

 

Warming shelters, also known as heat banks or warm banks, are short-term emergency facilities that operate during extreme cold conditions. Their primary purpose is to prevent hypothermia and other cold-related health issues by providing a safe and warm environment for individuals who may be exposed to harsh weather conditions. These shelters often serve the homeless population, stranded motorists, and others in need of temporary refuge. 

Join us in an effort to help

our communities.

As inflation rises and the cost to find affordable housing increases we are often faced with the relentless challenge of securing adequate housing for not only ourselves but also our loved ones. No one should have to go without this critical necessity. We can help combat homelessness one family at a time.
