Transforming Lives.
Community Helping Place is the largest social services organization in our county, serving one in five local residents by providing food, a free clinic (medical, dental and mental health), financial assistance, transportation, advocacy, humane housing support and intensive case management.
Powered by Community
Our goal is to come alongside those in need (primarily those living at or below 200% of the federal poverty line) and provide comprehensive, trauma-informed, strength-focused care that addresses barriers to access and provides lasting opportunities for change and wellbeing.
