Township Assistance
Emergency Financial Assistance
A trustee is responsible for helping persons experiencing financial distress in their township.
Applicants are required to complete an application for assistance and schedule an appointment to discuss his/her need. Once the application and interview is complete, a thorough investigation is conducted and when found eligible, assistance will be provided in the most economical means available.
A person or family is in need if there is not enough income or resources to provide the basic necessities of life. Necessities of life include: food, shelter, essential utilities, medical needs, household supplies, and clothing.
If you are a resident of Aboite Township and need assistance, Township Assistance Application packets are available in the Township Office or you can download the Township Assistance Application and Document Verification forms below.
Food Pantry
Aboite Township has started a food pantry to help residents of the township. Distribution of collected items will be to the residents of Aboite Township in need. The pantry is open 24/7.
Clients can take as many items from the pantry located outside our office doors, as they need. The pantry is restocked every morning of our office hours. Residents of the Township can also leave items for donation in the food pantry as well.
If you are a generous person or group that has a large donation, please contact our office to schedule a time for dropoff.
Burials
The next-of-kin can apply for burial assistance for a deceased family member if there is no other resource to pay for such services. The deceased's household must be determined eligible for township assistance by completing an application and submitting required paperwork. Township pays according to Schedule L in the Guidelines.
