FOOD

     The ministry's main purpose is to provide food to those in need. The amount of food provided depends upon the number in the family and the amount of food we have available on hand. Our goal is to provide food for approximately five days or longer. Clients may come in each month for free government food.
     First-time clients should bring the following items to the Ministry to receive food:
Social Security cards/any official document with the SS # for everyone in the household
Proof of income for entire household
Proof of residency in Anson County
Proof of food stamps
     Frequently during the year we also are able to provide other miscellaneous items in the food vouchers. For example during 2009 we distributed white potatoes, sweet potatoes, yellow squash, bananas, bagels, oranges, juices, flavored milk, ect.

CLOTHING

     The public is welcome to shop at the Crisis Ministry. All proceeds from sales are used to purchase food at the Metrolina Food Bank in Charlotte and to assist with other costs. The clothes have been priced at exceptionally low prices to accommodate our clients and their needs.
     Grandmothers who are raising children, domestic violence victims, inmates, homeless and fire victims receive free clothing. Clients on low income may also request a clothing voucher each time they visit.
