Basic Needs Assistance is dedicated to providing immediate, short-term support to residents of Rockville, MD, facing financial hardship. Our mission is to prevent families from falling into homelessness and food insecurity by offering critical services tailored to their needs. We assist with rent payments to prevent eviction, help with utility bills to avoid disconnections, and provide prescription assistance for those with verified medical needs. In addition, we deliver emergency food to households in crisis, offering grocery bags that contain a three-day supply of nutritious food for each family member. We also connect individuals with additional resources to support their recovery. To request assistance, residents can reach out to us on specific days of the month based on their home address, ensuring a practical approach to delivering our services swiftly and efficiently.
