Circle provides a variety of services to those in need. Operating as a food pantry, we hope that the food provided to the families will enable them to use their income for other needs.
Food Pantry: Each month over 1,000 people receive food from Circle. Families receive groceries once a month based on the size of their family. They get canned goods, frozen meats, fresh produce, bakery items, bread, milk & eggs. Personal care items & paper products are also given out each month.
Financial Aid: Circle provides emergency assistance for rent, utilites, prescriptions, gas vouchers and other necessities. Such aid is provided on an individual basis as funds are available at Circle.
Circle Of Concern began helping area families in 1967. Members from local congregations joined together to assist those burdened by poverty. In 1989 Circle opened their doors at the Valley Park center, allowing families to be served every week from a permanent location. As the needs of our families change, Circle's programs will continue to grow and evolve.
Circle is operated primarily by the dedication of over 150 volunteers and the support of the community through monetary and in-kind donation.
