Help & Hope Center - Douglas/Elbert Task Force, offering the opportunity for your support should you be interested.
The Douglas/Elbert Task Force is a 501(c)3 non-profit human service organization dedicated to providing assistance to people in Douglas and Elbert counties who are in serious economic need, at risk of homelessness, or in a similar crisis. We address immediate needs by consistently providing food and other necessities for homeless, low income and the working poor in our community. We meet these challenges with over 290 volunteers, three full-time and ten part-time staff.
Last year, Task Force volunteers provided 47,986 hours of service, the equivalent of 23 full-time staff. Last year, the Task Force provided 16,670 community members with $1,677,510 of direct and in-kind client assistance. The Task Force addresses the issues that affect community members who are unemployed, underemployed, on fixed incomes, disabled, and elderly. Task Force staff members provide quality screening, one-on-one counseling, effective service delivery, and meaningful referrals for all clients. www.helpandhopecenter.org |
