More About Us
Nonprofit in Christiansburg, Virginia, serving the needs of residence in all of Montgomery County
Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program (MCEAP) was founded in 1975 as a 100% volunteer organization to meet the immediate, emergency, and temporary needs of low-income, unemployed, elderly, and handicapped individuals and families. MCEAP helps these families in the areas of food, clothing, household items, and financial assistance where existing agencies cannot do so. Those seeking assistance need to apply in person to the Administrative Office that is in the New River Community Action building at 110 Roanoke Street.
Our Philosophy: We strive to assist county residents in maintaining their households and restoring their self sufficiency.
