Grove Church Assistance
Grove Church partners with community organizations, municipal services and utility providers to offer emergency assistance to individuals and families who are experiencing a temporary financial crisis. Assistance is provided on a limited basis and those needing longer-term assistance are referred to other sources such as the Housing Crisis Hotline, HER Shelter and Union Mission services. Eligibility for assistance is not guaranteed, and documentation is required, depending on the type of assistance sought.
