Are you or someone you know in danger of being evicted from your apartment or home? Or perhaps you have already been evicted and are currently homeless and do not know where to go for help. Do you need help obtaining food for yourself or your family? Then please dial 211 or text your zip code to #898-211 to talk with an operator for free, anytime day or night. EFSP does not assist directly to individuals.
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) began in 1983. Congress created it to help meet the needs of hungry and homeless people throughout the United States and its territories by allocating federal funds for providing food and shelter. That legislation created a National Board, chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that consisted of representatives of the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities USA, The Jewish Federations of North America, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, The Salvation Army and United Way Worldwide.
Nationally, the United Way administers the program, and locally, the Lumber River United Way administers the program for Hoke and Robeson Counties.
EFSP intends that agencies should be selected for funding based on their ability to supplement and extend their operations with funds from EFSP. The priority is to address hunger/homeless needs to make a difference- not to spread dollars among all eligible applicants.
