Basic Needs Assistance

Basic Needs Assistance is dedicated to supporting residents of Olney, MD, and southern Montgomery County who find themselves in financial crisis. Our mission is to prevent families from falling into homelessness or experiencing food insecurity by offering essential services such as rent assistance for those facing eviction, utility payment assistance to prevent disconnections, and prescription help for verified medical needs. We also provide emergency food deliveries that include a three-day supply of groceries to households in need, ensuring that each member of the family receives critical nutrition during challenging times. In addition to direct assistance, we connect individuals to a network of additional resources to further support their journey toward stability. We welcome you to reach out for help; to request food services, remember to call on the appropriate days based on your address number.
