Our mission is to provide temporary financial assistance to residents of the Times Herald-Record's readership area - Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties in New York. Consideration is given to those who have been self-supporting with steady employment history or with other work-related income. Have had a recent/unexpected event causing a temporary financial hardship and have explored other avenues of financial relief. We offer a one-time grant to those qualified applicants for housing, utilities, auto repair, medical bills or other expenses, so they can resolve their financial difficulty. Assistance is paid directly to vendor or supplier of goods/services. There are budgetary limits and restrictions.
