Dayspring’s List of Community Support, Financial Assistance, and Food Pantries
Dayspring Center for Christian Counseling is a non-profit organization that offers behavioral health services to the community. We believe that having a strong social and economic network is crucial for people’s well-being. That’s why we collaborate with selected organizations and local churches that share our values to ensure that individuals have the support they need to thrive. By offering these organizations discounted rates they are able to sponsor clients for services at Dayspring. To help people build a sense of safety and security for improved behavioral health, we’ve compiled a list of resources that we think will be helpful.
To the best of our knowledge this list is current and the information is accurate. If you become aware of any changes to the services listed please contact the administrator at Help@Dayspringcc.us to have edits made.
