The First Step is This Pre-Application:
About the application process:
Applications for family assistance will be considered based on multiple factors- We have limits due to the nature of the program. Everything we do is based on the donations we're able to collect. We do our best to help as many families as possible, while not overlapping too many kids who are close in age and the same gender, that way we can make the most of all donations.
Please answer as completely and honestly as possible! None of the answers to these questions are guaranteed REJECTIONS- For example, if your family is receiving assistance from another organization- it is possible that we could help your family AND another - so please don't anticipate answers and change your answers according to what you think will get you approved - PLEASE be HONEST.
*** Our only restriction; We only work with families only one time in a five year period. If we have helped a family previously, we limit assistance for the following 5 years in order to help as many families as possible. This restriction applies to any blood relative or household member of a family we have previously assisted. ***
You will be notified as quickly as possible of your application's status once application approvals have begun. If your family has received a "wait list" status- we encourage you to continue to seek other assistance as we can not make any promises about how many wait-listed families will be moved up by Dec 20th, 2018.
Thank you!

INFORMATION ABOUT APPLYING:
Please know that all information is kept confidential. We do not release the names of the families who are requesting or receiving help because we believe that DIGNITY is crucial. Some recipients choose to share photos, or make a thank-you message public. This is done by choice - we do not require any kind of public recognition. While we love to hear from the families about how we've been able to help them - we would never want anyone to share identifying information that might embarrass them or their children.
Please Remember: Being in need, or receiving help, should never be a source of embarrassment. We ALL need help at times in our lives. We are giving families a HAND UP: not a hand-out.
