Our Mission Statement:
We are personally accountable for helping others in our
community.
We have established the
food bank which
 opened in
late 2004, and moved into our new location on north Main Street April 2007. Our goal is
to meet the nutritional needs in Sheridan County. We also help with
household needs such as furniture, appliances, kitchen items, clothing and
misc.
Many opportunities to help this community are available
through PEOPLE ASSISTANCE. If you have a couple of hours to spare and want to
help somewhere in the community please feel free to contact our offices. We can
show you how you can assist us in helping others in lending a helping hand.
Financial assistance is always appreciated as well.

 In 2005, Dan Lick, Director of Payee Assistance, determined
there were people in the community that may not have the same needs as
those he had been working with, but were still in need. He took the need to the
board of directors and PEOPLE ASSISTANCE was conceived.
PEOPLE ASSISTANCE guides people in need
to resources that may be able to help with the need, including but
not limited to, rent assistance, rent payment arrangements, gasoline, bus
tickets, food, clothing, auto repair, help with utility bills, child care,
medical. dental care, eye exams and lenses, and counseling.
PEOPLE ASSISTANCE is staffed with counselors dealing
with personal, marriage, financial, emotional and spiritual issues. We also have
access to legal counsel, if necessary.
PEOPLE ASSISTANCE staff work on a volunteer basis ; some
retired citizens and some with full time jobs in the community
