Servant’s Heart is a unique resource serving the Mint Hill community, zip code 28227, and families of students who attend Mint Hill Schools. With a warmth and friendliness not often found in larger agencies, we treat our clients with dignity and respect and devote a substantial amount of time to each person seeking assistance. As it benefits the clients, we establish dedicated community partnerships to ensure our clients get the assistance they need.
Servant’s Heart Assistance Programs —
All at NO COST to our Clients:
NonFood Pantry
Our clients select a 1-month supply of items food stamps will not purchase. This pantry is stocked with 25 specific items that people use daily or at least weekly (toilet paper, shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc.) A family of 4 leave with a minimum of $185 in product.
Emergency Food Pantry
Clients who need food select groceries among nonperishable food to last until their scheduled Nourish Up appointment. We do not want clients and their families to be hungry.
Nourish Up Partnership
We are an approved professional referral source and local distributer for Nourish Up. Clients receive a 1-week supply of nonperishable food items up to 12 times a year.
BillPay Assistance
This service assists with past due mortgage, rent, and utility bills before eviction or disconnection of services occurs. We also help with expenses related to higher paying jobs for our clients (e.g.: CNA Exam and RN Exam fees).
1:1 Budgeting
This service provides clients individual sessions with a financial counselor to construct a workable budget for establishing short-term and long-term financial goals.
Client Shopping
Clients are given Community Boutique shopping vouchers for clothing and household necessities based on family size and situation.
Beds for Families
For family members sleeping on floors, we make referrals to our partnering agencies for beds.
New bookbags filled with new school supplies are distributed to students and schools along with classroom and administrative provisions to all 10 Mint Hill schools.
Back2School
Turkey Tuesday
Clients receive groceries for a traditional Thanksgiving meal to prepare the way they like to eat it based on the number of people who reside in their home.
Clients select up to $100 in new toys for each child up to 12 years of age in their home. Because teenagers are more difficult for whom to select gifts, clients are given $75 in gift cards to Walmart per teenager/college student in the home for a shopping trip.
