There is the Jefferson Community Action Programs (JCAP) at 504-736-6900. They sometimes know about help all that or may offer it themselves but as for school supplies, food, and emergency bills. Due that, even the housing, before you get an eviction or shut off notice so be proactive. Since your family is living on disability and your son has special medical needs, make sure you tell them all that too.
Also try Second Harvest Food Bank at 504-734-1322 (https://no-hunger.org/). I know they have partner pantries all over Jefferson Parish, and maybe they know of one that has food for families with kids or can point you somewhere that helps with school supplies too.
One other thought, since your son is legally blind and has autism, ask his school or special education office before kindergarten starts. Sometimes they know about backpack drives or other programs, especially for a kid who is blind, that don't get advertised much.

Jefferson Parish and am struggling with bills and need help

Post by Brit »

I am inquiring about how to apply for help with uniforms or school supplies and food. I live in Jefferson Parish. I am a disabled single mom of three only my youngest is starting school this year kindergarten. I have lupus and my son is legally blind and has autism our only income is disability. I am facing losing our home of nine years and would be blessed if you could offer any assistance with any bills for anything, even school stuff for my kids so they can better their lives, or referral.
My faith is strong but feeling very broken lately. I have spent all of my savings on treating my disabled son he requires special food and enzymes ext. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a blessed day. You can reach me (Misty).
