Now-Forward is a volunteer-led charitable organization serving 125,000+ clients & patients annually. We could not do this without the active support of many individuals and organizations.

Be a Volunteer

Now-Forward has 175 active volunteers serving as client interviewers for financial assistance, pantry workers, clothes closet workers, ESL teachers, physicians, nurses, translators, and tax preparers. Volunteers also provide administrative and IT support as well as organize and manage the distribution of school supplies and uniforms.

OUR WORK

Be a Donor

96 cents of every donated dollar goes directly to client/patient services. Donors know that their support is being used as they intended. In 2024, Individual donors provided 50% of monetary donations, grants and foundations provided 41%, Covenant Congregations 7% and others 2%.

…I have to say, I am appreciative of the help I received from this place. I needed assistance and they went beyond what I asked of them. I don’t like handouts but they made it feel like they genuinely wanted to help and I couldn’t be more thankful. This is a place I will be donating from now on since they have done so much. Thank y’all again for helping me with my rent.

Be a Partner

Now-Forward works best in partnership. In 1983 it was conceived as a partnership of interfaith congregations that together could establish a secular agency to better address the needs of the low-income, vulnerable community than each could do separately and to better leverage their resources.
