Mission: Circle of Concern is grounded in the idea that every community member should have access to basic needs and the tools to thrive. The food pantry is their core service. It is also the gateway to other Circle programs and services. Families must be established clients actively participating in the pantry program to receive other services. Circle provides emergency financial assistance on a limited basis when funds are available. Active programs include:
- Financial assistance to help keep utilities on, avoid eviction and address or meet other short-term needs on an individual basis.
- An onsite vegetable garden, the Garden Greens committee supports their pantry program, by growing and distributing fresh seasonal vegetables to clients.
- With support from the Chiron Community Giving Fund, they offer mental health care that would otherwise be inaccessible, or at least greatly delayed, due to limited resources.
Eligibility Requirements:
-Household income (including wages, child support, social security, government assistance and other resources) may not exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
