What We Provide
Hometown Strong provides direct, practical support to Paradise small businesses and families recovering from hardship. From groceries and bill relief to clothing and local gift cards, we meet people where they are.
Food & Grocery Assistance
No family should have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table. We source groceries and meals directly from local Paradise businesses, keeping dollars in the community while making sure no one goes hungry. Because a community that feeds its own is a community that survives.
Clothing & Supplies
When you've lost everything, starting over means starting from scratch, and that includes the basics. We distribute clothing and everyday essentials to individuals and families rebuilding their lives, There's dignity in having what you need, and we take that seriously.
Gift Cards
Paradise's small businesses are the backbone of this town, and they need support just as much as the families they serve. We purchase gift cards directly from local businesses and put them in the hands of families who need them. Our help comes from within the community; it's neighbors investing in neighbors.
Bill Payment Help
A past-due notice shouldn't be the thing that breaks a family that has already survived so much. We step in to cover essential utility and bill payments, buying people the breathing room they need to get back on solid ground. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply make sure the heat stays on.
