The Ark is a United Ministry Outreach Center that is sponsored by area churches. It assists local residents who have had a recent loss of income due to the economy, an accident or illness. It also provides grants to help seniors with utility bills. The Ark offers referrals to other charitable organizations, such as the food bank that is located in the same building. The Ark is open daily, but encourages those who don't have an appointment to come during "Walk-In Wednesday" from 9am - 11am, when no appointment is necessary.
