Methodist Church has assistance for seafood workers

The First United Methodist Church in Apalachicola will accept applications today for financial assistance for local seafood workers.

The church says it has a limited amount of funds to help local seafood workers who are facing financial problems because of the bay closures over the past three months. To be eligible for assistance you have to have been directly affected by the recent bay closures and have not already received financial assistance from another organization like Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army or the Capital Area Community Action Agency.

If you do apply for assistance through the Methodist Church you will need to bring in a seafood workers license as well as your drivers license and social security card. They also want to see proof of recent income related to the bay, sources of household income for the past year, and a list of monthly household expenses.

The First United Methodist Church in Apalachicola will accept applications this afternoon from 2 until 5 PM.
