Referrals and Resources

AIO values our partnerships with area social services agencies and will refer clients to the correct resources whenever possible.

We will train our AIO Volunteers on the best-fit resources in order to help our clients in any way we can. AIO Volunteers are not case managers.

In turn, we would like to be sure all social services agencies, food pantries/meal sites, town offices, congregations, and community organizations know how we help our community outlined in this memo and we welcome your referrals to us.
