Community Assistance

The main function of the Community Assistance program is to respond to the short-term financial needs of applicants. We review applications and requests, visit with families and individuals, and try to find the best immediate solution we can reasonably provide. The kind of help we can bring varies from situation to situation, and we keep the applicant’s current circumstances in view when making decisions about aid. Please note that this assistance is available only for persons of Scottish descent.

Community assistance for individuals
If you are an individual of Scottish descent in need of financial aid, we may be able to help you.
