Financial Assistance Lex-Care maintains a fund to assist people with financial and material needs when no other source is available. The fund is supported solely by private contributions, which are received in response to Lex-Care’s Herald Leader column "Make A Difference". In 2009, sixty two families benefited through this program. To receive support from this fund, a referral must come from a social service worker with appropriate documentation of the need. The Lex-Care coordinator and at times the Board of Directors, review the request. Following appropriate approval the referral is featured in the column. No one is featured in the column without his or her written permission. Click here to view eligibility requirements. Diapers
Rides
 The Rides program provides transportation assistance to persons in need of transportation for legitimate, necessary reasons
when no other means are available. In 2009, Lex-Care Rides provided sixty three bus passes to clients in need. This program
keeps citizens employed, makes medical / counseling appointments possible, and allows recipients to find consistent work.
Requests for transportation aid (Bus,
taxi or Wheels) must be made through a social service
agent. Click here to view eligibility requirements. |
Lex-Care purchases disposable diapers in bulk and distributes them to Cardinal Valley Center, Salvation Army, and Gainesway
Community Empowerment Center. Families needing an emergency supply of diapers may contact one of these agencies. A social
worker referral is not necessary.
