How Does It Work?

What Is Emergency Assistance?

Emergency assistance helps people who are experiencing sudden and unexpected problems with life's basic needs. Greer Relief and Resources Agency, Inc. provides its Clients with short-term emergency assistance which is limited help, not maintenance. Every Client is given individual attention.

After assistance is provided, the Agency attempts to match the Client with other resources and agencies which can then further assist Clients in overcoming their current difficulties.
