As we continue to navigate life in the time of Covid, Woodstock Area Relief Fund (WARF) caseworkers have connected with a large group of local resource organizations. We’re listing them below, and we’ve created a page on our website ( www.woodstockarearelieffund.org ) with the list.
We have funds available to help with rent, food, basic household needs, and child care. When you apply, our caseworkers will happily guide you toward one or more of these organizations that can help as well. Feel free to contact these wonderful resources directly.
