Who Qualifies for Assistance?

R&R Community Support focuses on helping individuals and families facing an unexpected, short-term hardship that makes it hard to cover everyday essentials.

We review each request on its own, based on demonstrated need, available funding, donated resources, and volunteer capacity.

✓ Requests That May Qualify

  • Groceries and food essentials
  • Gas or transportation to get to work, school, or appointments
  • Clothing, shoes, and seasonal items like coats and warm layers
  • Hygiene items, cleaning supplies, and household basics
  • Baby and child essentials
  • Short-term help during a transition, such as a job loss, a move, displacement from your home, or a family emergency
  • Other essential needs, considered one at a time

✕ Requests That Typically Do Not Qualify

  • Ongoing or long-term support without a clear end date
  • Direct cash payments, or rent, mortgage, or utility bills
  • Non-essential or luxury items
  • Requests outside our service area of Spring Hill and surrounding communities
  • Emergencies that need immediate help. Please call 911
