Support for DHHS Emergency Services to Begin Soon!

Germantown HELP will be providing bags of nonperishable food to caseworkers at DHHS/Emergency Services/Housing Stabilization, to be distributed to those clients presenting themselves in extreme need of food. Of course, if they are Germantown residents, they can also call Germantown HELP for a food delivery, but they may not have a phone or be able to wait a day or two for a delivery. Dried milk, canned meats/tuna, and fruit juice concentrate in a can are especially needed.

Homeless clients don't have an address for us to deliver to, so we can't usually serve them. We are happy to provide special bags for Emergency Services to distribute for them, containing food with pop-tops or pouches that can be easily eaten and don't really require heating. Packs of tuna and crackers, breakfast bars, small individual cans of juice, small packets of fruit, and other shelf-stable meals and snacks are needed for this effort.

Thanks to St. Nick's for bringing some food by this week! Every bit helps.
