The family is located here in Marion, the mother has come to Smyth County Department of Social Services today 04/02/2025 stating that termination for her electricity is today and the balance due is $419.00. The department is supporting her with clothing, but has no means of paying this big of a balance.

The department is currently working with a family in the Austinville area who could use assistance with clothing. The family has a 17 year old female who is in need of shirts and pants. The female is in need of size 3x shirts and a size 24 pants.

Tazewell County DSS is currently working with a single mother and 3 children. They are in need of 2 beds for the children (2 boys- 1 boy is 4 years old and other boy is in Middle School). There is not ample space for all 3 of them to sleep with the current sleeping arrangements. The family has limited financial resources.

TCDSS is working with a sibling group of 3 children who are in foster care. They were residing with a fictive kin before entering foster care. The fictive kin wishes to become a foster fictive parent but unable at this time due to lack of space. She is in need of a 3-4 bedroom home to rent. We are asking the community if anyone knows of a 3-4 bedroom home that this person could reasonably rent. The children are bonded to this fictive kin and would like to reunify the 3 children as they are currently separated in 2 foster homes. The fictive kin is currently working and will have resources to pay.
