W e l c o m e!
You have probably heard of us. We are the Saline Area Social Service (SASS). We bring worthwhile programs (Food Pantry, Prescription Drug Assistance, Back-to-School Clothing Program, Easter and Thanksgiving Food Baskets and Holiday Adopt-a-Family, to name a few) to Saline and and residents of the Saline Area School District.
We help your friends and neighbors, or their children and grandchildren (or their parents and grandparents).
Everyone wants to live in our community. Most people who grow up here want to stay here, but it is expensive. Individuals, families and seniors often need temporary help to make ends meet. We give them advice, counseling, food, medicine, referrals, and temporary support.
Our income limits for being a client are:
1,225 per month (for a single person)
2,500 per month (for a family of 4)
Saline Area Social Service helps local people - the agency's goal is to get people on their feet. Often we help people at a time of crisis - a job loss, illness, accident, or family emergency.
Our agency cooperates with other agencies and refers people to them if that would be helpful. We also have been administering a prescription drug program that provides medicines not covered by other prescription programs (there are many, and they are expensive), and this program has identified an area of ever-increasing need.
The people we help give back
to the community, and we all benefit.
Many people who have been helped by Saline Area Social Service return to help others, and this creates a sense of community pride.
