In addition to providing a daily meal, as our funds allow we also try and help guests in other ways. Assistance Days are held the 2nd Wednesday of the month.

Representatives from over 10 local agencies come to DBSK once a month or as frequently as once a week to help our guests navigate their services. Agencies currently participating are:
