While some years are worse than others, in general inflation is taking away from Americans paychecks. Whether it is the cost of medical care or prescriptions, or even trying to pay rent or a mortgage, the cost of living goes up faster than household wages. This is where the SVDP thrift store as well as food banks and clothing closets in Bonneville County can assist. All of these provide goods to families which will in effect free up their income for paying their everyday bills.
The programs for basic needs all operate differently. The thrift store sells gently used goods. The second option is the free clothing closet, and this offers vouchers (at no cost) so people can obtain the goods they need. The food bank is more straightforward; free groceries (perishable and non) are given out from it.
The goal of these various services is to allow the family to obtain what are otherwise critical goods to living. As with prices going up for those core bills we referenced, budgets often have nothing left for the food, clothes, etc. So this is where the St. Vincent de Paul resources in Bonneville County may be very beneficial.
