The SAVES program was started in 1983 to offer assistance to individuals and families who are experiencing a temporary emergency situation. To qualify a person must be experiencing circumstances that fall within federal program guidelines. These circumstances might include: recent job loss, awaiting approval of benefits and benefits exhausted or cut off. The SAVES program provides a large assortment of food items to qualified persons: fresh and canned fruits and vegetables; chili and soup; breads and bakery goods; beverages; dry milk; and staples such as rice, beans and dried cereals. SAVES also provides special assistance (as available, seasonally) with back to school supplies, holiday food baskets and utility assistance.
Hours may vary.
