Each holiday season, over 1,150 families are adopted by businesses, organizations , congregations and people living in the community . This program provides a holiday meal at Thanksgiving, as well as a holiday meal and gifts in December. SCO is currently involved in four active programs to meet the critical housing needs of our clients. Applicants are screened by the Housing Committee to assess each family's ability to pay a reduced rent in a condominium, maintain employment, set goals, meet commitments and attend practical counseling for budget management. SCO will pay a portion of a family's utility bill to help avoid disconnection of services.
Vouchers are available for adults and children to obtain clothing at local thrift stores.
Gasoline vouchers or bus tickets are provided for transportation to job interviews or doctor's appointments. Automobiles contributed to SCO are donated to our clients in need.
