Lunch
Free lunches are prepared and provided at Parish House by members of local churches and church organizations on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at noon. Everyone is invited and welcomed to these lunches. It is also a great opportunity to meet and socialize with other neighbors and volunteer members of Parish House. They will always greet you with kindness and warmth.

Clothes Closet
Every three months, each family or individual neighbor can receive an emergency clothing voucher at Parish House for the following items:
  • 3 Tops
  • 3 Pants/Shorts
  • 3 Undergarments (Bras, Socks, Underwear)
  • 1 pair of Shoes
  • 1 Coat if marked

Utility
Upshur Parish House also provides emergency support for paying utility bills, including gas, electricity, water, and rent. Each family or individual neighbor can receive emergency financial support every six months. The financial support does not go to individual families and neighbors. Instead, it directly goes to utility companies.

Food Pantry
Every other month, each family or individual neighbor can receive different types of emergency food packages. These packages include canned foods and packs of grains, as well as fresh vegetables, fruits, and sometimes meat.
Personal items and feminine hygiene items
Personal items and feminine hygiene items are also available every other month.
