Modest Needs is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of working families with small financial crises and nowhere else to turn. Most people living paycheck to paycheck earn just barely too much to qualify for any type of conventional assistance, meaning they can’t receive the help they need to overcome a short–term crisis – until they’ve lost everything. However, Modest Needs has found a way to step in and help those people before it’s too late. Click here to learn more.
