Emergency Assistance
The purpose of Emergency Assistance Program
is to assist county residents with a
utility, shelter or other situation and
intervene when possible to alleviate an
emergency situation.
Weatherization
The
mission of the Weatherization Assistance
Program is to reduce the heating and cooling
costs for low-income families-particularly
for the elderly, people with disabilities,
and children-by improving the energy
efficiency of their home and thereby
insuring their health and safety.
Garden
Program
The Gardens Program was established to help
supplement an applicant’s food supply thus
allowing the applicant more disposable
income to address monthly household
expenses. Counties use various funding
sources that provide garden packages (seeds,
plants, potatoes, fertilizer, dust) to low
income households. Items provided by this
program help supplement the daily
nutritional needs of eligible applicants
Low Income
Energy Assistance Program
In
partnership with the Department of Health
and Human Resources, NCWVCAA provides the
Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP)
that assists eligible households with the
cost of home heating through direct cash
payments or payments to utility companies on
their behalf.
Income Tax
Assistance
The VITA Program offers free tax help for
low- to moderate-income (under $40,000)
people who cannot prepare their own tax
returns. Volunteers, sponsored by NCWVCAA,
receive training to help prepare basic tax
returns in communities across the country.
Assistance is by appointment only.
Medication
(Prescription) Assistance
Bringing together America’s
pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other
health care providers, patient advocacy
organizations and community groups,
help qualifying patients who lack
prescription coverage get the medicines they
need through the public or private program
that’s right for them. Many will get them
free or nearly free.
Gift Bags
Assisting customers at holidays, birthdays
and other special times, the Greenbrier Co.
office has available “gift bags”. These
gift bags are FREE and are available to
customers when their budgets do not allow
for buying someone that needed gift
Teen Expo
Bringing together education and employment
opportunities available to teens, NCWVCAA
and the Greenbrier County Family Resource
Network sponsor “Teen Expo” in September.
Teens can speak with representatives from
training programs, schools and colleges,
businesses as well as get information and
options that will assist them in making
important decisions that will impact their
futures.
Turkey Vouchers
Thanks to the Greater Pittsburgh Community
Food Bank, NCWVCAA receives Turkey Vouchers
for distribution to county residents.
Vouchers are good only at specified
retailers and are only good for the purchase
of a turkey.
