Community Assistance Voucher Program

The Escalon Police Department works with local churches to provide a voucher assistance program.  For people without resources who are in need of emergency food or shelter, the Escalon Police Department can contact local churches who in turn can provide a voucher to cover the cost of a nights stay at a local motel, gas, and/or food.  The reason this program is facilitated by the police department is to prevent its abuse.  Because this program is designed for emergency situations for those in need, it can only be utilized by an individual once every six months, so the police department keeps track of those who have used it and when.
