The number of families getting Medicaid and government food assistance in Rowan County increased by more than 900 between July and the end of October this year.
Patients receiving free health and dental care at the Community Care Clinic doubled to 1,500 from last year to this.
And on one cold day in late November, Rowan Helping Ministries interviewed 117 households seeking help, distributed 2,550 pounds of groceries and gave out $4,500 in financial assistance vouchers.
That’s one day.
Undeniably, the number of people needing help has grown in 2008.
And those people have a hard time waiting for government offices to process their applications, says Sandra Wilkes, Social Services director.
“When they come to us for help,” Wilkes says, “they need it immediately,”
How does a community respond?
The people and businesses of Rowan County respond by supporting a host of agencies that help people through hard times.
They support agencies that help people through difficult situations, like a family left homeless by a house fire, an elderly relative who can’t be left alone, a troubled child who has no responsible adult to serve as a role model.
And they support agencies that enhance the quality of life here ó educating children, protecting animals, promoting the arts, preserving local history.
Below is a list of area nonprofits and their wish lists for 2008. Times are tight, but if you’re not waiting in line for assistance, maybe you can help someone who is.
The agencies need money, volunteers and a wide variety of items. Examples include an aluminum camper shell, school uniforms, folding chairs, computer software, horse feed, 150 bottles of body lotion, Angel Tree gifts for 880 children, a marquee for the Fisher Street Theater and paper products ó tons of paper products.
As virtually every agency said, “no gift is too small.”
