Basic Needs Assistance
Helping Families Meet Daily Needs
Groceries
Compass families can pick up free groceries once a week through our pantry. Using the order form in the ELC hallway, you can choose items your family prefers—often including fresh produce, bread, frozen meats, prepared sides, and pantry staples. This program helps stretch your grocery budget and ensures your family has what it needs.
Cleaning and Hygiene
Each week, Compass families can request 1–3 full-sized cleaning or hygiene products—like laundry detergent, shampoo, toothpaste, soap, trash bags, or paper towels. The order form (kept up to date with available items) is in the ELC hallway.
Clothing & Small House Items
Through our partnership with Opportunity House (just down the street), families receive vouchers every 3 months—$15 per child and $25 per adult. Credits can be used within 90 days on clothing, shoes, bedding, dishes, toys, and other household items.
