General Assistance

Located in Slidell, LA, General Assistance is dedicated to empowering individuals and families through its comprehensive Good Sams program. We provide essential support, including housing assistance, utilities assistance, and emergency food pantry services, ensuring that our community can maintain their independence and stability. Our offerings extend to medication assistance, gas vouchers for job interviews or medical appointments, and limited dental, optical, and legal services. Additionally, our consulting resources help connect families to valuable programs like SNAP, free tax services, and job assistance. Throughout the year, we host special events to support our neighbors, such as distributing school supplies in August, Thanksgiving food baskets, and Christmas gifts for children and seniors. While financial assistance is available once a year per household, our commitment to helping those in need remains strong.
