Melissa received her electric bill that had a growing overdue balance. She was afraid it would get shut off if she didn’t pay it off soon. Melissa is a single mom of two kids and the child support money she was expecting had stopped being paid a few months prior. The Food Shelf encouraged her to meet with her county caseworker to reestablish child support funds and in the meantime was able to assist her in paying off the bill through our Emergency Fund.
