A client can only access the Beacon Fund once a year. If the client is able to pay back the money used, they may do so.
    DOCUMENTS NEEDED

    Individuals or families needing financial assistance must be in need. When the client comes in, they will fill out an intake form. This helps the staff assess the need of the client. The staff will look over the intake form before meeting with the client. The staff makes sure that the client will be able to pay next months bill so they dont rely on ReStore to keep paying for them.

    After the staff know the needs of the client they will suggest other agencies that might be able to assist with the clients situation. The staff will also ask the client if they are part of a church that might be able to assist them.
