Assistance Programs for American Indians
Cash Assistance
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has a Financial Assistance and Social Services program that can offer assistance to American Indians and Alaskan Natives with funds needed for utilities, shelter, clothing, and food supplies. This program focuses on helping individuals achieve independence, which is why individuals that receive assistance will have to create and sign an Individual Self-Sufficiency Plan. If you would like to apply for the program, visit your local BIA regional office, visit the Division of Human Services website, or call the office on 202-513-7622.
Help With Food
Households living on Indian reservations (or American Indians that live in approved areas near reservations) that meet income requirements may be able to get assistance from the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. For more information on the program and eligibility requirements, visit the application page for the program. Your local Indian Tribal Organization or State Agency will be able to determine if you qualify for benefits, and you can find your closest agency on the FDP contact list or by dialing 1-866-348-6479 and enquiring with the USDA National Hunger Hotline.
Get help with buying your medications
Medication costs are one group of bills that can be nearly impossible to pay each month, even with insurance. Unfortunately, these are often dangerous to go without. If you or a family member need help to pay for your prescriptions, discover how what these organizations can help single mothers.
PPA
Partnership for Prescription Assistance matches people up with the programs that will help them for free. Questions can be directed to their online contact form.
Co-Pay Relief is a group that works directly with patients to get payments made to the doctors, pharmacies, or individual that needs financial assistance. There is an online application form that can be filled out on their website, or they can be reached at 1 (866) 512-3861.
Medical costs can be reduced by utilizing the services available through RX Assist. The site combs the enormous database to find out which programs will work best for any individual situation. They can be contacted by email at info@rxassist.org. Individual provider phone numbers are available in their program directory.
If you are in need of supplemental food assistance then you can apply for the federally-funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Food Stamp benefits will allow you to purchase nutritious foods on a monthly basis via your electronic benefits card. To learn more about the program or to start your application process, call the Family Support Division Resource Center at 1-855-373-4636.
The Missouri Child Care Assistance Program provides single mothers with the opportunity to apply for subsidized child care services. The program is administered by the Early Childhood & Prevention Services Section of the Division of Children and Families. To apply for subsidized child care assistance, please get in touch with the DSS by calling the office at 800-735-2966.
WIC is a program designed especially for Women, Infants and Children. This program tends to the basic healthcare and nutritional needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women and also caters to the needs of their babies and toddlers. You can contact WIC Nutrition Services by calling the Missouri Department of Health at 572-751-6204 to enroll in the WIC program.
The Missouri LIHEAP program can help you pay your utility bills and can also help you save on your monthly home cooling and heating costs. As a federal initiative, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program caters to families on a limited income. To see if you qualify for LIHEAP benefits, you can call the Energy Assistance Hotline at 855-373-4636.
Access Missouri Financial Assistance Program
The Access Missouri Financial Assistance Program is a program that can provide grants to undergraduate students who do not have the means to finish their degrees. Awards are based on a student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and are limited to tuition fees. To see if your child is eligible for this program you can contact the Missouri Department of Higher Education at 800-473-6757.
As you can see, there are a range of grants available to single mothers living in Missouri that can help ensure that they provide their children with all the basic needs they require to live happy, healthy lives.
The AIEBC website is available to assist ALL members of “The United States Military Family” as well as the community at large.

Founded in 2006, Veracity Consulting is the result of a key observation from CEO and founder, Angela Hurt. Companies were finding technology increasingly difficult to manage and overly complicated for businesses.

This gap led Angela to create the vision of the “Veracity” experience and Veracity Consulting, Inc. was born. Veracity Consulting, Inc.’s mission is to change the complex world of technology into a more efficient and profitable solution for your business.
