Local Assistance

Many people live paycheck-to-paycheck while others have no paycheck at all. We understand that we all need a little help from time to time. On this page you will find links to local agencies and resources to help you make it through those times of need.

The Teresa Shelter provides assistance, food, referrals to supportive services, employment and housing leads, and advocacy with community services. It is the only emergency shelter for women and children in the greater tri-state area. As part of the Opening Doors program, it also provides longer term housing, the Maria House, to help provide support and care to help the women become self-sufficient.
