Help Now	Gas card to get to work This is a woman who has fought a long battle with addiction and mental health symptoms for years. Over the past year, she has made tremendous progress and now lives in stable housing, takes an active part in parenting her children, has full-time employment, purchased a car and was able to get her drivers license reinstated. Although her budget is tight she has managed to meet all of her needs and pay her bills on time. She recently missed work for a couple days due to a death in her her family. If she uses all of her paycheck to pay her bills on time she will not have enough to purchase enough gas to get to work. By utilizing the food shelf, she believes this gas card would be enough to help her stretch to cover the gap until her next pay check. If someone is able to assist with this need it would be greatly appreciated!

Help Now	Mom reaching out for food and gas support We have a mom who has had some financial struggles these past few years. Even working full time, she is finding it difficult in today's economy to get by. She has had to spend a huge amount of her pay towards getting her daughter ready for school. She reached out to see if she could get any donations for a $150 gift card to Cub food and a $50 gift card to Holiday for gas to get her through the week so that she can continue to go to work.

Help Now	Transportation need An almost 18 year old is in need of help getting to work. She has moved out of Scott County and is staying with a friend temporarily, while she is looking for an apartment. She is trying to keep her job in Shakopee to save money for the apartment, but she does not have a car or consistent rides to and from work. She has been paying for rides with Uber or Lyft to get to work for the last week, but this is using up a good portion of her paycheck! A Lyft gift card would allow her to get to and from work and still have money for what she needs. Once she finds an apartment, she will look for a closer job.

Help Now	Be the “spark” for a 70-year-old woman needs new spark plugs and coils for her 2006 Nissan Frontier A 70-year-old female senior with extensive "co-morbidities" needs help repairing her 2006 Nissan Frontier that has lost its spark! She is very independent and needs her car for frequent doctor appointments, grocery shopping and errands. Her income is just above the Federal Poverty Guidelines at $1,360.00 a month. She pays for lot rent and utilities. Although she qualifies for the CAP Agency's Energy Assistance, that does not last the whole year. She has had heart valve replacement, pacemaker implanted, cataract surgery and with her last medical procedure was told that due to her extensive co-morbidities, they wouldn't even schedule another procedure since the potential risk would outweigh the potential benefits. She lives in an area that doesn't have mass transit and even with the CAP Agency's Chore Assisted Transportation Program, needs a car for day-to-day needs. Volunteers with this program can help out but not to the extent that having one's own car provides. She received an estimate from a local car repair place for $600.00 to replace all 6 spark plugs, a new cylinder coil, & new wires to correct it from "misfiring" and causing the car to be inoperable.

Help Now	clothing items needed I am working with a single father and his children who are trying very hard to find stability and connections to helpful, long-term supports. The children are in need of clothing, undergarments, socks, shoes, winter coats and shoes. Dad is employed, but there is an issue with his vehicle which is making it very difficult to get around and put in the amount of hours he typically works as he is having to depend on rides to/from work. His vehicle is currently being looked at, but he hasn't found out what the repairs will cost yet. Any help towards the clothing needs, whether it be gently used items, new items, or gift cards to purchase items would be greatly appreciated by this family. Thank you for considering!
