Church Social Work

WYO partners with local congregations to help meet the needs of their parishioners. Consultation, assessment and practical assistance are offered on a fee-for-service basis.

In addition to parish social work, WYO acts as the case manager for Churches United for Hardship Assistance (CUHA). This union of Wheaton churches pools their resources to aid Wheaton residents who are facing financial hardship. Instead of churches discerning who receives charitable assistance, they refer those who knock on their door to WYO, so our professional staff can assist with homeless prevention funds or utilize the combined church funds to help them.
