When money is tight, it can be hard to keep up with everything at once. Food, rent, utilities, transportation, household items, school supplies, and other everyday needs can pile up quickly.

CSL is here to help you take the next step.

We help individuals and families find practical support, understand available resources, and connect with services that can make daily life more manageable.

Whether you are facing an urgent situation or trying to get back on steady ground, our team will listen, talk through your options, and help you find a path forward.

We Can Help You Find Support

CSL may be able to help you with needs such as:

• Food and household items

• Transportation resources

Start With One Conversation

You do not have to know exactly what kind of help to ask for.

When you contact CSL, we will talk with you about what is happening, what you need most right now, and what options may be available.

We may ask about your household, income, current bills, deadlines, or other challenges you are facing. This helps us understand your situation and connect you with the right support.

Our goal is to make the process as clear and respectful as possible.

Help When Life Gets Overwhelming

People come to CSL for many different reasons.

A job loss.
A medical bill.
A rent increase.
A shutoff notice.
A car repair.
A gap between paychecks.
A season where the cost of everything feels too high.

Whatever brought you here, you are not alone.

CSL can help you look at what is available today and what steps may help you move toward more stability in the future.

Help With Programs and Paperwork

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to begin.

Our team can help you understand what information may be needed and connect you with programs that may be able to help. This may include food assistance, utility programs, housing resources, employment support, family resources, or other local services.

If CSL is not able to provide a specific service, we will do our best to connect you with another resource.

What to Bring

To help us serve you as quickly as possible, please bring any documents related to your current situation.

Helpful documents may include:

• Photo ID

• Proof of address

• Proof of income, if available

• Utility bill, lease, or shutoff notice

• Any paperwork related to the help you are requesting

• Information about the people in your household

If you do not have everything, please still reach out. We will help you understand what is needed.

You Are Welcome Here

Asking for help can be hard. At CSL, you will be treated with dignity and respect.

We know every family’s situation is different. Some people need help for the first time. Some have been carrying a lot for a long time. Some are working, parenting, caregiving, or starting over and still struggling to make ends meet.

You do not have to face it alone.
