St. Francis House has been a partner of United Way in a variety of ways for many years. Most recently, we were awarded a grant from the United Way Community Investment Fund to provide our clients with food and assistance with medicines and co-pays. As the cost of food and healthcare rise, these funds from United Way help us fill in the gaps for our clients.
Jason was referred to us from the Little Rock Community Mental Health Center. In addition to needing help with food and clothing, he needed help getting his medication. He had insurance, but the $105.00 copay was still too high for him to afford.
We’re thankful for our partnership with United Way and encourage you to give during your workplace campaign!
