Basic Needs Assistance

Basic Needs Assistance is dedicated to providing immediate support for residents facing financial hardship in Kensington, MD. Our mission is to help families avoid the dangers of homelessness and food insecurity through essential services. We offer assistance with rent payments for those facing eviction, utility bill support to prevent disconnection, and prescription aid for medical needs validated by a physician. Additionally, we deliver emergency food supplies directly to households, ensuring that each family has access to nourishing groceries for three days. Our compassionate team is here to connect individuals with further community resources as needed. To access our food assistance services, we encourage residents to reach out on specific days based on their home address number, creating an organized and effective way to meet urgent needs.
