As our community continues to experience unprecedented economic challenges, the number of people requesting assistance from our region’s human service agencies is increasing. Unemployment and rising prices have driven many people to the brink with nowhere else to turn. Through our emergency relief program, we respond promptly to the needs of individuals in identified struggling communities by providing them with the basic necessities of life to include food, clothing, shelter and relief funds. With the global rise in poverty and increase need for assistance by undeserved communities around us, Stanley Jegede Foundation has embarked on this initiative to fight poverty through a formidable network and partnerships with other global emergency relief organizations.
