Social Services

          Sometimes families may find themselves in a crisis situation due to the loss of a job, serious illness, or a divorce.  During such difficult times, there is often a need for temporary monetary help.  There may be a need for counseling services or a change of environment.  Help may be provided for the elderly or the disabled.  It seems that every year there are families at Falling Water who are either dealing with the loss of a job or a divorce.  Several agencies in the Chattanooga area have been established to provide temporary aid to families in crisis situations.
