Bonita Assistance

Financial Assistance

We provide short-term financial assistance to community members experiencing a crisis.

We define a crisis as anything unexpected that happens to no fault of your own. The goal is to bridge a financial gap so our community members can stay on their feet during a difficult time.

When receiving financial assistance, you will receive other direct support services to ensure you gain all the tools and resources you need to feel empowered during a time of crisis.
