The primary function of the Emergency Aid Program is to provide "help in emergency cases only" with food, clothing, electric and utilities, rent assistance, bus tokens, and other types of assistance to persons in need, regardless of race, gender or creed.
A secondary function of the program is to refer these individuals, when appropriate, to a state, county, and/or private agency for long term assistance. Priority will be given to families with children, the elderly, and the disabled. In addition, the program provides emergency assistance to victims of fires and natural disasters.
