Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program (MCEAP)
Helping those in need in Montgomery County

At OSLC, if anyone comes to us for needs, we always refer to this wonderful organization.  

MCEAP is a 100% volunteer-run organization with zero overhead cost, and they strongly believe in providing a hand up instead of a handout. Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program, Inc. is a certified 501(C)(3), and their operations run entirely off of donations and profits from the thrift store. Together we can provide food, clothing, household items and financial assistance in order to fill needs that other agencies are unable to meet.

Their Mission is to assist Montgomery County residents in maintaining their households and restoring their self-sufficiency. This can be achieved by serving the immediate, emergency, and temporary needs of low-income, unemployed, elderly or handicapped individuals and families.
