Koinonia Foundation

The emergency relief services (ers) is at the core of Koinonia's mission. Koinonia, on an everyday basis, helps individuals and families overcome short-term obstacles in their lives. Koinonia provides life-saving and life-changing assistance that keeps poverty at bay in the lives of our clients and ultimately stabilizes our community. Ers operates a food pantry and provides basic food products on a monthly basis. Ers also operates a clothing closet where clients are encouraged to select clothing and household items in an effort to help relieve money otherwise spent on clothing and/or household items. Finally ers offers financial assistance to cover needed rental or utility needs, or prescription drugs; and a self-sufficiency plan created by both the client and Koinonia staff in which goals are identified and a timeline is arranged.
