Our Services
We assist eligible individuals and familes with emergency food, reducing food insecurity in our community.
Pathways
This program is a joint effort between VISTO and the community at-large, designed to offer life skills classes and role model support to empower individuals to make healthy choices for their families.
Backpack Buddies
Children who qualify for free and reduced meals at school or those referred by school personnel are eligible to receive delicious, nutritionally dense mini-meals every weekend throughout the school year.
We strengthen families by keeping the lights on, emergency dental & Rx assist, we also offer gas vouchers for verifiable medical appts or job interviews.
VISTO provides clients access to and teaches ways to utilize local resources including GED scholarships and parenting classes in order to lessen their reliance on charitable programs.
