Lakewood Project Shepherd is more than just a holiday program; there is also an extension program available to help Lakewood residents on an emergency basis year-round.
If you are a Lakewood resident facing tough economic times, your neighbors want to help.
Families in need may apply any time of year for help with the emergency food pantry or for one-time utility bill payment assistance, and scholarships for recreation programs.
Project Shepherd applicants must be Lakewood residents (determined by current Lakewood mailing address and utility billing).
Families are served by either the Burns Community Center or Palms Park Community Center, depending on the zip code of their residence.
To apply for assistance, please call or visit the center that serves the zip code of your residence.
