Basic Needs Assistance

Basic Needs Assistance is dedicated to providing immediate support to residents of Germantown, MD, facing financial difficulties. Our mission is to prevent homelessness and food insecurity by offering essential services such as rent assistance for those at risk of eviction, utility support to avert disconnections, and prescription aid with verified physician documentation. In addition, we deliver emergency food to households in crisis, ensuring families receive grocery bags that supply three days' worth of meals. We also connect individuals to further resources to address their needs. Service requests can be made by calling us, with specific guidelines for food assistance based on your home address and the day of the month. Together, we strive to create a safety net for our community members in need.
