Douglas / Elbert TASK FORCE
Assisting the Community with Compassion

 

Our Mission: The Douglas/Elbert Task Force endeavors to meet the immediate needs of residents of Douglas and Elbert Counties who are in financial distress and at risk of becoming homeless, to help them work through troublesome times with dignity.

We provide essential services:  Food, clothing and household items, utilities, rent, information/referrals and much more.  View our video interview - click on the Task Force

Your time, food, clothing and cash are needed now.
In 2009, the Task Force provided $862,974 in client assistance, 16% over 2008.

The Food Bank Needs Your Help!  In the first six months of 2010, the Douglas/Elbert Food Bank has distributed $250,045 in food and hygiene items — that’s 100% more than the same period last year. We need food of any type, and can accept fresh and frozen food as well as non-perishables. PLEASE help us help those with the greatest need in our communities.
