Our Mission

The Emergency Assistance Center's mission is to provide emergency food assistance,
personal hygiene items and clothing to residents in need living in Northern Summit County & adjoining communities.

Who Do We Help?
Most individuals asking for our assistance are dealing with problems that are forcing them to seek outside help for the first time. These problems include job loss, abandonment or death of a supporting family member, and medical expenses, such as prescription costs, not covered by insurance.
We want to help anyone who truly needs our assistance, but in order to verify a need really exists, applicants are required to fill out a detailed application before help is provided.
We do not charge for assistance, however we do encourage recipients to become involved in our volunteer programs.

How Do People Hear About Us?
Most people are referred by local churches, schools, and social service organizations such as the Summit County Job and Family Services, United Way's "First Call For Help",
and the Western Reserve Outreach Center.

How Do We Help?
The Emergency Assistance Center primarily helps by providing short-term emergency food assistance in the form of frozen meals and nonperishable food items. We offer many other services as well.

How Are We Funded?
The Emergency Assistance Center is an independent, privately funded, not for profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization. We rely on local churches, schools and businesses to conduct food drives for us, food suppliers to provide food supplies, and local residents and businesses for the necessary financial support to purchase essential non-donated items and to meet our operating expenses.

• We provide families with clothing and personal hygiene items.
• We provide meal planning, nutritional information, and suggestions as how to best utilize food supplies.
• We provide special foods to those with specific dietary needs.
• We deliver food to those unable to visit our centers.
• We provide names of organizations available to help with utility payments, medical assistance and temporary housing.
• We provide holiday baskets.
• We provide encouragement and positive intervention.
