Money toward your utility, rent, or water bill once within a twelve-month period.

Our appointments are usually held by phone on Wednesdays.

You must live within the Kent School District boundaries. (This may include some people in Renton and Covington whose children attend or will attend Kent Schools.) You don’t have to have children attending school—but live in an area where, if you had children, they would be attending Kent School District schools.

We cannot have helped you with anything in the last 12 months.

You cannot owe more than $4,000.

Please call the church office on Monday mornings at 9:00 a.m. at (253) 852-0993 and schedule an appointment. (The exceptions to this are national holidays that fall on Mondays — in that case, please call on Tuesday morning.)

We only do eight appointments a week, 3 of which are reserved for rent. These appointments fill up very quickly, so it is essential to call at 9:00 a.m. and be persistent to get an appointment. The phone lines will be busy, and if you wait even half an hour, it is unlikely that you will receive a rent appointment.

Be available by phone call at the scheduled time of your appointment. If we attempt to contact you at or near the time of your appointment and you don’t answer, we won’t be able to help you for another 12 months.

Provide your apartment address and a contact phone number for the apartment manager if you need help with your rent.

Clients are responsible for having the ability to speak English or provide their own interpreter.
