Our
purpose is to provide emergency assistance to those in need
who can use our assistance to better their lives.
Our typical contribution to any one family is approximately $300
with the majority given to short term rental or rental-deposit
assistance. We have also helped families in need with utility
bills, car payments and auto repair. Generally, the families
we serve are working and living paycheck to paycheck. They
have encountered an unexpected bump in the road and would
be facing devastating consequences if they did not receive
help (e.g., eviction, disconnected utilities or loss of transportation
to get back and forth to work).
Those who receive aid have been carefully screened and all
other resources available have been exhausted, as we are often
the last resort.
All of our funds come from direct donations
or from the sale of our seasonal note
cards. Please consider supporting Tom's Door and those
in need. Contact us for more information.
