Monday, June 16, 2008.
Applicants
can either:
come to 108 W. Main Street, Suite C,
between 8 – 4:30 Monday through Friday to pick up an application and a

The Information and Referral Specialists
will review the application and verify the above items. Charity Newsies
will then review the application, determine eligibility and the
applicant will be contacted by phone approximately two (2) weeks after
they apply with approval or denial. If approved, an appointment will be
made at that time for one of the first two Saturdays in August to meet
with a Charity Newsies representative to finalize the process. Families
will then be instructed to go to Value City to get their voucher and
shop. The assistance will be on a first come, first served basis, so
encourage families to apply early.
