Emergency Financial Assistance
Sister Visitor Center can help prevent utility shutoffs or eviction by pledging a portion of what’s needed to extend services or rent for 30 days. Clients may be asked to make a partial payment if bills exceed what we can pledge or if services are already disconnected. To be eligible to receive assistance you must live in our service area (all of zip code 40212 and parts of 40211 & 40203 as part of the Association of Community Ministries).
