Household Financial Assistance

Helping families in crisis.

Society of Samaritans

SOS has been serving residents of the Greater Magnolia area and West Montgomery County for 37 years, providing food, clothing, household goods and financial assistance with housing costs, utility bills, medical expenses and transportation needs.

We generally can consider providing financial assistance under these programs once every 12 months to residents of Montgomery county to help with emergency needs, with any exceptions made only after review on a case-by-case basis. All funding requirements must be met and files completed within 10 days of initial submission of the application. We have limited funds available and financial assistance can only be provided when all of the requirements are met and the file is complete.


  • Rent and Utility Assistance - We can assist with up to $200 toward past due utility (water/sewer, propane or electric) bills or up to $300 for rent due for the current month. Specific timing and payment requirements established by our funding program must be met."
