Get Started
Application Process
Please contact our office to speak to the Assistance Committee Chairman, Sergeant Kenny Horgan. He will go over the process to request assistance which includes submitting a complete application with the necessary backup documentation. Unless emergency circumstances exist, the applicant’s case will be presented at the next scheduled monthly Board of Directors meeting. The case will be assigned a number and will remain anonymous unless otherwise prohibited by law. Board members will hear a summary of the request and take a vote on how much, if any, assistance will be approved.
