The pantry is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3-6 PM. Food delivery is also provided for seniors or disabled persons not able to visit the pantry, with emergency deliveries also available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5953e2198419c218945fff13/1499435033868-N0B5IBGP1RCYVP1MXTK5/image-asset.jpeg Apply for Assistance - Rental Assistance The Rental Assistance Program prevents homelessness and substandard living conditions by assisting lower income families with either first/last month rent to move into suitable housing or a short-term subsidy to remain housed, including payment to avoid eviction. Assistance, paid directly to the landlord, is generally limited to $5000 over an 18-month period, although services can be extended for long term serious illness or another catastrophic situation. Applicants must show evidence of ability to pay rent after the assistance period and agree to a detailed financial, rental, and employment history review. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5953e2198419c218945fff13/1499434800723-OA57ZBJ19ES32SEHPBW8/Wood_Burning_Stove.jpeg Apply for Assistance - Fuel Assistance The Fuel Assistance program assists residents, both renters and home owners, to apply for benefits under the Federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program or the Salvation Army Home Energy Program. For those residents not qualifying for these benefits, we will assist with an emergency oil or propane tank fill or electric minimum payment to keep the family warm until a more permanent budget arrangement can be secured with the fuel provider for future service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5953e2198419c218945fff13/1617205427853-86BV54YX1H2EBHZF0BO9/Doctor+Patient+flip.png Apply for Assistance - Medical Travel Assistance Our new Medical Travel program ensures that low-income island residents will have access to funds to help pay for travel in connection with necessary off-island medical treatments and appointments.

NFFRA receives grant support from local and regional foundations and town programs. The local churches and congregations also provide funds through the Nantucket Interfaith Council, to support the food, fuel, and rental assistance programs. NFFRA also relies on gifts from individual donors to operate these programs and provide benefits. No gift is too small. Recurring monthly gifts are greatly appreciated as it helps us project income available to provide services. Without this help at all levels, we could not offer these services.
