Pilot Project

Saturday, September 26th, 9:00 am til 1:00 pm the Tum Tum Horizons project will be making available to those attending the Tum Tum Food & Clothing Bank the opportunity to access programs and services available to them through Rural Resources, DSHS programs, Worksource and Basic Health.

Our goal for the morning is to talk with the people who need assistance in getting access to what would help them out most. We will be using the website ParentHelp123.org to see if they qualify for Food Stamps, health benefits, unemployment & WIC. We have the energy assistance pre-applications available as well as weatherization information.

We had already been publicizing this event when we found out about Resoure Link, the joint project of Rural Resources Community Action and the Stevens County Public Library System which comes to our Lakeside Library on October 2nd. We are very excited to be able to partner with Resource Link to connect people to the help they need, including job training, child and family programs, housing, food, senior services, transportation, and utility assistance and weatherization.

Join us for a lunch BBQ and meet our Horizons Leadership team!
