Emergency
Voucher Assistance
The Emergency Voucher Assistance Program of South Lincoln County is
administered by the pastors of area churches in Waldport and Yachats. It works from a common fund, in a dedicated Voucher
Fund bank account, which is managed by South Lincoln Resources.
The purpose
of the program is to provide families needing temporary, limited assistance with
groceries, meals, prescriptions, gasoline, transportation, rent, utilities. Vouchers are given by the pastors and are for specific
values with pre-approved vendors.
The churches are the main source of income for the program. Every penny
donated to voucher assistance is given to those families struggling to
survive in our rural community environment. Guidelines, controls, and
reviews are used to ensure the viability of the program |
