Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program

Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program (MCEAP) attempts to meet the immediate, emergency, and temporary needs of the low-income, unemployed, elderly, and handicapped individuals of Montgomery County with food, clothing, household items, and financial assistance when other agencies cannot do so. Volunteers used extensively for program operations.

Description:
All applicants for service must be screened by NRCA (where MCEAP is housed and supported) or by MCEAP. MCEAP encourages and promotes the principles of accountability, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. MCEAP coordinates its programs with all major social service agencies in the county and seeks to serve as a clearinghouse of information for their area of service with these agencies as well as area churches. An emergency fund is established for temporary financial assistance in such areas as rent payments, food, fuel and utility payments, medical bills, etc. All payments are made directly to the vendor.
