FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program
The Federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program was created to supplement and expand the work of
local social service agencies, both nonprofit and governmental, in an effort to help people with economic (not disaster related)
emergencies. This supplemental funding is open to all organizations helping hungry and homeless people,
and is available on a limited basis. Agencies in Murray, Nobles, Pipestone and Rock Counties may request
funds to supplement and expand current available resources. The funds cannot substitute or reimburse ongoing
programs or services. These funding opportunities occur once per year. Contact the Community
Service Coordinator to find out if there are currently funds available and application deadlines.
