Frequently Asked Questions
1. What services do you provide?
At the Faith, Hope, & Love Foundation, we work with a large network of community supporters to provide help in times of financial distress. This includes, but is not limited to: homeless, elderly, veterans, children, schools, families in crisis, and other benevolent organizations with similar missions.
We assist with the following needs: food, shelter (rent/mortgage) clothing, educational or financial assistance, life skills, budgeting, mentoring, and/or other basic human needs.
​
We also assist with cancer related expenses through our Brittany's Hope Memorial Fund.
2. How would I go about obtaining needed assistance?
The process first begins with giving us a call or stopping by our office. We will do a pre-screening application with you to see if you are eligible to start the process. We will then assign you a case manager, set up your appointment, have you fill out the application, and have you bring in all relevant paperwork. Once we meet, we can better assess your needs and how we will best be able to assist you. However, getting an appointment does not guarantee assistance but we will do everything we can to help.
​
3. What do I need to bring to my initial appointment?
It's important to bring all of the following:
-
A valid photo ID for all household members over the age of 18
-
Your completed intake paperwork
-
(If employed,) Verification of employment with the 'two' most recent check stubs.
-
(If disabled,) Verification of disability application/paperwork
-
(For housing,) A current rental agreement that MUST have the landlord's phone number and mailing address. If it does not, we cannot assist you until this information is received.
-
(For utilities,) The most recent bill/disconnect notice. It must be in your name and the address on your photo ID must match that listed on the bill.
Thank you for your cooperation!
