A single parent and their four children are looking to move into a new home. One of their favorite activities is to cook together. Their new home is everything they want with one exception; the kitchen does not have a working stove. They are unable to afford a new stove on their own. If a stove cannot be purchased for the family any donations of gift cards to Lowes would help the family afford to cook at home.

A single mother of two facing an urgent housing crisis. She is at imminent risk of homelessness due to a significant rent increase at her current residence, an expense she simply cannot meet. With limited family support and despite receiving food assistance that barely stretches to cover her needs mom is struggling to make ends meet. Her landlord has given her until the end of the month to vacate, leaving her with nowhere to go. The financial burden extends beyond housing. Mom lacks the necessary funds for a rental deposit, making it impossible for her to secure alternative accommodation. In addition, she is in need of school uniforms for her children, adding to the mounting pressure. This situation highlights the precarious position many single mothers face, especially in the face of rising living costs. Mom is in desperate need of immediate support to secure stable housing and provide for her children's basic needs. Any assistance, whether financial or through resource connections, would be profoundly impactful in helping her navigate this challenging period. A gift card would help mom with toiletries.

This family consists of a father who recently completed a substance abuse residential treatment program and obtained his own apartment in Schenectady. He is currently working with the department to reunify with his daughter (3). He is currently seeking couches for his home living room in order to progress visits into his home.

The youth is placed with grandparents and has been struggling with behaviors in the home and at school. The agency is working with the grandparents to provide needed services for the family. The grandparents are currently caring for two of the grandchildren, who are teenage sisters. The youth in need, has been signed up for a local recreation league softball team through the YMCA. The family is in need of softball equipment. The youth is a 15 yr old female, who requires medium size black softball pants, size 7 cleats (she would like them in pink if possible), helmet, softball glove and softball bat. Thank you!

A father has recently gotten housing and needs items for him and his son to be comfortable in their home. A few items are listed but the apartment needs all the basics for living. Financial assistance is also welcome to help purchase needed items.

A couple in our church community are expecting their first baby in a few weeks. The mom-to-be would greatly appreciate if someone could come to their home and put together a dresser while her husband is away at basic training. They are located in Cary.

There is a family within our church who is changing their housing situation. They need help with their water deposit to insure their housing situation.

Hello, I am wondering if you can donate a food gift card to our family of 5. Yes we do go to local food banks frequently however my wife just recently went through a very traumatic pregnancy and our son arrived 6 weeks early and spent 5 in the NICU and we were driving 40 miles to and from the hospital. I have never asked for a handout on my life however right now money is tight. Even a gift card to food Lion would be a big blessing Regards, Marine veteran post 9/11

We have a foster family of 7 with a baby due on May 3rd who is in need of help deep cleaning their home. They have a house full of teenage boys who do a good job on chores BUT they are teenage boys after all... These parents would love if an individual or group would be interested in doing a super deep clean so they can have a healthy, clean home for their baby's arrival. The weekend of April 26-27th would be ideal.
