Real Relief for Real Life

Every day at Friends In Deed, we hear from people who are working hard yet falling behind, not because of poor choices, but because today’s economic realities leave little room for error.

A missed paycheck can trigger an eviction notice.
A car breakdown can threaten a job.
A medical co-pay can force impossible choices between groceries and utilities.

This is the new face of poverty: people who followed the plan, yet live one emergency away from crisis.

Your gift allows Friends In Deed to respond when these moments happen - providing timely assistance that helps people regain footing and keep moving forward.

Through our Essential Services Program, we prevent utility shutoffs, help cover urgent car repairs, deliver beds and furniture, and provide financial support to help families avoid displacement. These actions don’t solve everything, but they create breathing room when it matters most.

For neighbors facing long-term poverty, our Circles Program offers sustained support rooted in relationships, community, and lived experience, helping participants increase income and build a different future.

When you give monthly, you help ensure more calls are answered, more families are supported before crisis deepens, and more neighbors have the chance to move forward.

Your generosity turns moments of hardship into moments of relief—and possibility.
