To consistently deliver emergency services, making the clients' dignity, self esteem and stabilization a top priority. The short-term goal of the Raytown Emergency Assistance Program (REAP) is to help qualified families and individuals who lack the funds to pay their bills and put food on the table. We supply food from our pantry, and help pay past-due utility bills and rent. Also, we provide back-to-school supplies, Thanksgiving food and a Christmas Store. Our long-term objective is to follow the emergency care with programming that will help those who receive our emergency services become more self-sufficient, no longer living from crisis to crisis.
