4PeteSake
4PeteSake provides relief to distressed River Valley residents who face extraordinary financial needs and who are unable, through no fault of their own, to provide for themselves.4PeteSake’s primary goal is to relieve financial stress so recipients can focus on healing. 4PeteSake funds fill in where insurance leaves off, such as providing income replacement to keep the lights and heat on and to take care of other basic household expenses. The committee may also become an advocate for recipients, helping them sort through the maze of services and fees, and making the dollars provided stretch even further.
