Our Goal is that…All People are Empowered and Healthy
The Polk Community Resource Center is a program of the Family & Community Outreach Department that assists families and individuals to meet their basic needs while helping them to achieve self-sufficiency. We support families in meeting their goals through offering emergency financial assistance, hygiene supplies, diapers and wipes, bus passes, assorted other resources, and information and referrals.
About Us
“Our new Resource Center in Monmouth represents a transformative approach to social services. Here, families can access a multitude of services in one place, tell their story once, and fill out a single set of paperwork. This streamlined process is not just efficient, it’s a game-changer in the way we provide compassionate support.”
