No monetary funds are distributed to clients for any reason.
Commitments are made to utility/medical vendors and paid directly.
Vouchers are issued for clothes/household items within the Operation Hope Thrift Store.
Payments for medical or prescription expenses are approved by the director and coordinated with a local pharmacy.
The Assistance Process:
Make an appointment with the Director of Operation Hope and bring with you the following items:
- Verification of residence in the Landrum/Spartanburg District One area. Example: a current bill reflecting your address, bank statement, tax or insurance bill.
- A current and valid driver’s license or state photo ID, or passport.
- Proof of household income for all persons living in the residence. Example: Current pay check stub, copy of alimony or child support check, government support, food stamps, etc,
- The actual bill(s) for which assistance is being requested
At your first visit, you and our intake personnel will go through a fairly lengthy intake form. Afterwards, the form will be updated.
Your information will entered into CharityTracker, a confidential software program of United Way of the Piedmont.
As the director or intake person gets to know you during the intake interview, a decision will prayerfully be made as to the best way Operation Hope may offer a HANDUP to you rather than a handout based on the resources available at that time.
