Emergency Financial Help

Unfortunately, we will be closing our office for financial assistance as of July 31, 2024 due to a shortage of funds.

With the support of our member churches and many generous donors, ACTC has been able to offer financial support to many families.  At this time, we have exhausted available funds so we are unable to continue this important resource.  We hope to be able to reopen as soon as possible. Please watch the website for an announcement giving a date when we will reopen.

We are not accepting new requests effective immediately.

We have an excellent food pantry, please come to get food to help you save money. You can get more information by visiting our website,  www.actcserves.org. We hope that you will find the help you need by contacting other resources are listed below:
