Assistance with Rent & Utilities

If you’re applying for help with rent or utility bills through ROSM, please allow 5–7 business days for a response. In some cases, ROSM may need additional information before your application can be processed.


Already applied through another church or agency?

If so, you’ll need to continue working with them until your current application is completed.


Food Box Requests

  • Requests must be submitted by 11:00 AM to receive a box the following day.
  • Requests made on Fridays will be ready the following Monday.



Please note that ROSM is closed on national holidays, so requests may take longer around those dates.
