When Julie lost her job with a new baby on the way, she and husband Mike faced financial crisis. PRC was there to help.
Emergency financial assistance is available from People's Resource Center (PRC) on a limited basis for qualified clients who are facing special hardships or unexpected needs, such as transportation, utilities, and medical expenses. Our trained social services staff and volunteers work to connect clients to assistance from PRC or other area service providers.
