Tuscarawas County Council for Church and Community

People Serving People.

Service List

Emergency Assistance is designed to help the working poor and their families.  Individuals living on a fixed income are also assisted.  Emergency assistance helps to cover a variety of expenses including utilities, gas, and prescriptions.  The funding for this program comes from a variety of sources.  Area churches donate a portion of this money.  T-4-C also receives grant money to provides these services.  Any left over funds from Share-A-Christmas are directed to Emergency Assistance.

Emergency Assistance

Since 1975 hundreds of volunteers have worked thousands of hours in order to provide food, clothing, toys, books, undergarments, hats, mittens and school supplies to people in need in Tuscarawas County.  The people of the community support Share-A-Christmas by donating these items and providing financial support.  Students from local schools also help by giving their time to collect and sort both food and toys.  A person is required to apply for these services and will receive a letter notifying them of the location and time to pick up these items.

Share A Christmas

Each spring in May T-4-C interviews low income homeowners who are in need of some minor repairs to make their home safe or to help cut heating costs.  The materials are purchased by T-4-C and the manpower is supplied by area churches.  If you are aware of a neighbor who owns their home but lacks the funds to make basic repairs call T-4-C.

Home Improvement

T4C also provides vouchers for families to purchase vegetable seeds.  Families may plant a garden for themselves and take the extra vegetables to the local farmers market. 

Seed Program

To be eligible for services, individuals must be a low income resident of Tuscarawas County.
