We open our door and hearts to you! MOM wants to help, whatever your need may be. We try to connect you with the assistance, care and concern you need to get you through your difficult times. For ALL of our services, please call us first to make an appointment, so that you can be sure that you are seen! Call us at 836-7338, we would love to serve you!

Some of the services provided by MOM are listed below. In order to be eligible for these services, clients must live within MOM's Service Area. Click here for more information on MOM's Service Area.


Food Pantry
Located at MOM's Distribution Center (8710-2 Montclair Drive - off Pleasant View Rd. in Middleton's Industrial Park), and serving more than 1000 families per year, the Food Pantry provides people with an opportunity to choose food for their household once a month.

The Food Pantry is self-serve, with volunteers helping their neighbors through the aisles. The Distribution Center is open Monday-Thursday 10-2,and Fridays and Saturdays 9-12. If you are in need of the Food Pantry or Clothing Closet and it is your first time visiting us (or it's been more than one year since you've used our services), you MUST meet first with a client counselor at our main office on Hubbard Avenue to pre-register. Appointments are highly recommended; contact us at 836-7338.

Clothing Closet
Located at MOM's Distribution Center, the Clothing Closet, provides free clothing for all MOM clients. It is open the same hours as the Food Pantry (see above).

Household Supplies
Household supplies, including linens and basic kitchenware, are available at the MOM Distribution Center. For our neighbors who recycle, MOM stewards God's gifts for good.

Housing Help
Financial help, housing counseling, and financial mentoring is available to help prevent eviction or to pay part of security deposits. To be eligible, clients must live within MOM's service area and make a matching contribution. MOM follows up grant recipients and mediates with landlords to help them keep their housing for at least six months. About 70% do so. MOM's clients participate in Section 8 and other subsidized housing programs, and in credit or budget counseling to help avoid future problems.

Good Samaritan or Emergency Aid
Utility assistance, bus tickets, car repairs and medical prescriptions, are also available to avoid cut-offs, help clients get to needed appointments, and help keep families helathy. MOM does emergency motel stays to bridge a longer-term solution and uses creative problem solving and refers to a network of other agencies and “connections” to extend benefits.

Project for Older People
The Project for Older People or “POP” keeps Seniors (age 65+) living on their own by providing drivers to take them to/from appointments and errands. Friendly visitors, respite care, and help with chores are also available.

Pastoral Care
Whether or not you go to church, you may still want a pastor to talk with and pray through a personal crisis, career decision, or family issue. We open our hearts to do just that.

Stephen Ministers
These lay caregivers offer help and hope to all generations in their time of crisis, chronic need, painful loss, life transition, or moral dilemma. If you need a helping hand, a listening ear, or a trustworthy caregiver, ask MOM for a Stephen Minister.

Sharing Christmas Program
A family, a group of employees, or an entire church may be matched with a family at Christmas by buying gifts for a low-income family. Registration to give or receive gifts begins in October. Please watch your mail for the IN TOUCH newsletter with the Sharing Christmas information.
