Outreach is building a supportive, transitional housing neighborhood? The first two houses are complete and renters are moving in. Click here to learn more! Outreach was recently awarded a $15,000 Parsec Prize grant to help with the fight against hunger in Polk County. Thank you Parsec Financial for your investment in our community. For more information on 2021 Parsec Prize grants, you may visit Parsec Financial's website. "I want to thank Outreach for helping my family out. Because if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have food for my six year old son. I just wanted to thank y'all from the bottom of my heart." ~ Outreach client Outreach Food Pantry Fall Features
The Outreach food pantry is offering special weekly meals to clients through the month of October. These food pantry "Fall Features" are available to Outreach clients each week when they visit Outreach for their monthly shop in the pantry or when they come to pick up commodities.
The Fall Feature for the Week of 10/25 is "Cauldron Chili" - chili with chips & salsa and a bag of Halloween candy. Are you Ready to Make Critical Changes and Improve your Life?
It Takes a Village
At Outreach, we have over 7000 visits each year from Polk County neighbors requesting assistance with food, financial assistance (rent & mortgage, utilities, medical and dental) and special programs for children (Feed-a-Kid, School Supplies and Holiday) and veterans. Without the help of our generous community, we could not provide this level of assistance to those in need. We're all in this together and at Outreach, we're grateful for all you do to help our community. Thank you!
"The food pantry is a blessing to me and my four little girls. We have had our lives turned upside down and I am very thankful for everyone's help. I hope to eventually be in a place where I will be able to start helping others, like others have helped me. Thank you so much!" ~ Outreach client COVID-19 updates & information
Outreach is here to help. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit countless Polk County families and individuals hard in many different ways. Thanks to the generosity of individual donors, churches, businesses and foundations (Polk County Community Foundation, Dogwood Health Trust, Duke Energy Foundation, Western NC Bridge Foundation), Outreach is in a great position to help. Whether you're one of our regular clients or someone who has recently fallen on hard times, give us a call if you need assistance with food, paying rent/mortgage or utility bills.
