Graham Crisis Center
The Crisis Center
help · hope · healing
The Crisis Center office is the front door to everything we do. Our team connects neighbors in Young County with benevolence assistance, community service placements, volunteer opportunities, shelter intake, and help applying for housing and benefits.
Benevolence
Help with life’s essentials.
Funded by sales at the Nifty Thrifty, our benevolence program assists families and individuals in crisis with:
- Rent or housing support
- Utility assistance (limited to once per year, per family)
- Emergency food assistance
- Clothing
- Hygiene & household essentials
- Prescription or medical assistance (when funding allows)
- Gas or transportation for essential travel
How to apply
Request assistance.
The benevolence fund is driven entirely by donations, so we can’t guarantee assistance in every situation. Eligibility is based on household need, residency, and current funding. Submitting the form is the first step, and every request is handled with dignity and respect.
Community Service
Complete your hours with us.
Need to complete court-ordered community service? You can do it with us in one of two ways — pay the community service fee, or work your hours at the Food Pantry or the Nifty Thrifty.
Sign up in person at the Crisis Center office. We’ll place you at whichever location you’re needed — the Food Pantry or the Nifty Thrifty.

Every year from May 1 through September 30, the Crisis Center distributes farmers market vouchers that can be redeemed for fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables at participating markets.
Vouchers have long been available to qualifying seniors — and beginning in 2026, we’re proud to offer them to WIC recipients as well.
