There are many displaced individuals and families, who are struggling to keep a roof over their heads and have limited access to food. Sudden unemployment and unusually high temperatures have added to the suffering. We are working around-the-clock to provide families and individuals with the emergency assistance they need, now more than ever.

Requests for services have TRIPLED in the last month!

• State Licensed Child Care Center – open to children of working essential service parents.
• Nutritious hot meals in to-go containers for our neighbors facing hunger or with limited income.
• Drive-thru COVID-19 testing station with our partner Borrego Health to keep our entire community safe.
• Early opening of our Cooling Center due to the unseasonably high temperatures following social distancing guidelines
• USDA Food Distribution and Emergency Pantry continues to provide to those in need. Many are new faces, and for the first-time are experiencing food insecurity.
• Case Management offices continue to provide services in Indio, Palm Springs and soon in Desert Hot Springs.
• Temporary housing for 120 individuals, including families with children. Residents are provided with wrap-around support services and personal protection equipment.
