I donate regularly to Sacred Heart: cash & food & clothing. TUESDAY I took a bunch of calendars, some canned goods & rice, a check for Christmas. Volunteers are helpful & grateful for donations. Nothing is sold here...all donations are shared/given to help our low income community. This place is truly A BLESSING!

Th first step is th application, then they will ask you to bring in all documents. If you hav everything wen u go in they will see you th same day. Keep in mind that you do hav to show a hardship as to why you can't pay your rent. Many blessings to you. 💖 Also take your pay or quit notice if you hav it.
