ROCKVILLE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
(REAP)
Established 1981
The Rockville Emergency Assistance Program (REAP) provides emergency assistance to individuals and families living in Rockville who are facing a financial crisis. REAP provides direct financial resources to help Rockville residents avoid eviction or utility termination, or to obtain needed medications or medical procedures.
​
REAP provides referrals to Montgomery County residents for local food banks, clothing centers, vision and dental clinics, and computer resources. The program also offers information about other services that are available to residents.
​
Our clients include the working poor, people with disabilities, older adults, unemployed, or those experiencing homelessness.
HOW TO GET HELP
Financial Assistance
