Ephrata Area Social Services offers social services, financial assistance, and community resources to families in need.
EASS will provide a certain amount of financial assistance depending on the income level of the family and the severity of the situation. These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. For families seeking financial assistance, the following must be done:
- Call to schedule an appointment
- Complete a financial assistance application form
- Bring to your appointment proof of income, proof of address and ID
- A staff member will discuss your situation and help you to create a plan to move forward
