Mission Statement

To assist residents of the community who are experiencing difficulty providing the basic necessities of life for themselves and their families.

Here for you...

The Human Services Department provides emergency assistance to town residents who are facing unexpected financial crises. The department offers many confidential services to address a variety of issues residents may face, including advocacy, case management, counseling, crisis intervention, and screening for other assistance programs.  Social Services provides assessment for resources, fuel assistance, tax preparation help, group meetings, home visits and many other services.

The Social Services Department staff is available to advise on available options, support and serve as an advocate.  While many services are available through Social Services, additional assistance is provided through a system of networking, advocacy and referral. 

Applying for Assistance
Participants in any of the Social Service programs are required to fill out an intake form and supply accurate income verification. Other information may be needed as deemed appropriate for the service rendered.
