The Trustee can provide Salt Creek Township residents assistance with food, shelter, utilities, and other basic necessities when no other resources are available. Township assistance is meant to be a last resort for help until other benefits are being processed, or for a short period of unexpected hardship. If you meet our township assistance guidelines, assistance is not paid to you, but instead directly to companies that provide the services you need.
