VCAM Pantry Paddlers

BACKGROUND:

Established in 1986 as a Christian non-profit charitable organization, VCAM provides a broad range of services that are typically requested of churches. We operate as a safety net for families and individuals in crisis situations in our community. We are primarily a volunteer-run organization.

Basic services include:

Supplementary food once monthly (based on family size);

Basic needs once monthly (toilet tissue, shampoo, oral care);

Special food and toiletry packages for the homeless;

Clothing;

Medical Equipment (walkers, canes, crutches) when available;

Home Delivery to the disabled;

Pre-Packaged Food Boxes to agencies which serve clientele similar to ours (such as Gulf Bend Mental Health Center, the Youth Advocacy Project, Victoria Public Schools, etc.); and

Referral to other charitable and community agencies as appropriate.

Financial Assistance provided in-house when funding is available includes:

Payment of past due water or natural gas bills to avoid termination of services;

Payment of non-narcotic prescription medications;

Gasoline Vouchers for out-of-town medical appointments;

Refillable Laundry Cards for Homeless Population.
