She needed help after domestic abuse: The Cape Cod Times Needy Fund is there
She needed to rebuild her life. After enduring a year and a half of domestic violence, this young woman faced injuries that left her temporarily unable to work, leaving her struggling to make ends meet. She was behind on the mortgage and utility bills.
Her advocate suggested that she reach out to the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund. Thanks to generous donors like you, the Needy Fund was able to provide assistance, offering the stability she needed to regain control of her life.
What is the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund?
The nonprofit Cape Cod Times Needy Fund has provided emergency financial assistance to thousands of Cape Codders and Islanders since 1936. That assistance is made possible because of the continued generosity of neighbors helping neighbors.
The Needy Fund provides short-term emergency assistance to Cape and Islands residents so they can continue to go to work and/or stay in their homes. People in need submit their requests for help to the Needy Fund, which in turn pays for the goods or services — a medical bill, for example — through a voucher system. No cash is given to Needy Fund recipients.
How to donate to the Needy Fund
