• Emergency food, children’s clothing boutique, accessing benefits, and help with basic needs
• Family Developers work with families to help them develop and reach their goals

Charles Settlement House provides emergency food through its on-site food cupboard, as well as holiday baskets. A clothing closet offers essential clothes, coats, and shoes year-round to children in need. Our Family Developers assist adults with employment, housing, government and agency forms, advocacy, counseling, budgeting & financial literacy, home repairs and lead remediation, and service coordination. Our bilingual (English/Spanish) staff provides translation services. Family Developers help families resolve crises and work toward increased stability and improved quality of life. Family Developers attend Neighborhood Events to inform community of services and opportunities.
