Resource HUB: Connecting Families to Essential Assistance

Providing Resources to Sustain Households & Prevent Hardship

At RESCUES ON85TH, we recognize that life’s challenges can put families at risk of eviction, utility shut-offs, food insecurity, and other hardships—situations that often lead to the heartbreaking surrender of cats and dogs. Our Resource HUB serves as a vital connection point, providing Alabama residents with information on available assistance programs to help sustain their households and keep their furry family members at home.

​

We do not provide direct financial assistance, but we help families access the resources they need to maintain stability and prevent crises.
