The Family Support Services and Food Pantry program help families meet their immediate need for food and address the longer-term challenges of economic instability. Our advocates educate families about their rights and empower them to access needed services and resources.
We assist families with public benefits applications (including online SNAP enrollment), refer them to LSA and non-LSA programs, offer immigration legal appointments and help tenants avoid eviction and get needed repairs. Visitors to our food pantry receive fresh and healthy food choices after meeting with an LSA advocate who evaluates the full extent of their needs.
