AUM clients are unemployed, working at low paying hourly jobs, disabled, elderly, sick, and homeless.  AUM clients are also families who until recently lived comfortably and were able to pay their bills on time. Now after losing jobs, sometimes for both parents, and depleting their savings, they now need help

Housing expenses are crippling many low income family budgets. Once a family is evicted or disconnected, the fees for utility reconnection or the deposit for another house/apartment can be insurmountable. Asking for help is difficult and embarrassing for many clients, especially when they have never had to ask for help before

Your financial donation is needed more than ever. With your help, more families will avoid home eviction. More children will retain an important stabilizing influence in their life, their neighborhood school. More senior and disabled citizens on fixed incomes will receive financial assistance for unusually high utility bills.

Imagine the difference your gift will make for Arlington’s poor and disadvantaged. “Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me--you did it to me.”       Matthew 25:40
