Community Storehouse is a local nonprofit agency providing assistance to children whose families are going
through a crisis such as job loss, terminal illness, or sudden loss of a parent. Our services keep children in school
until their families come through the crises. It is through the generosity of our community that we are able to
provide for these children.
We provided over 12,000 services to over 4,000 children in 2011 and are projecting to provide over 14,000
services to over 5,000 in 2012. W
