Mountain Projects Emergency Fund
The Mountain Projects Emergency Fund was established to address urgent and immediate needs of neighbors in crisis. Generally, these folks need a stabilizing solution to avoid traumatizing situations for themselves and their families. Some recent examples include:
- A pregnant woman requesting weekend emergency shelter to avoid sleeping outside
- A Head Start family facing utility shut-off due to pandemic-related unemployment
- Meals for low-income senior citizens over weekends and holidays
- Home rehabilitation for individuals without running water or working toilets
- Diapers for babies whose parents are in-between paychecks
- A mattress for a veteran who lost all belongings in a house fire
On a daily basis, the Emergency Fund helps Mountain Projects clients resolve short-term crisis situations, so our staff can then help the client access life-changing services.
- Mountain Projects also provides:
- Meals and food boxes for the food insecure
- Preschool for low-income families
- Heat & weatherization for people in need
- Housing rehabs that remedy unsafe housing
- Accessibility for seniors and the disabled
- Affordable housing for the essential workforce
- Substance abuse prevention services
- Access to affordable healthcare options
- Transportation for veterans, seniors, students and the disabled
