• Veterans benefits
• Lost identification documents
• Help with benefit applications
• Clothing requests
• Disaster relief (referrals from the American Red Cross or other agencies)
• Diapers and other products for infant, toddler and adult care
• Transportation concerns
• Nutritional supplements

SOCIAL SERVICE REFERRAL

When South Bay Outreach Center can't provide an immediate solution to a client's problem or challenge we find a partner agency to help.

We do not just provide an name and a number and pass our clients off to another agency; we help them understand the referral agency's process and many times stay with them through the process as a mentor or coach. Our objective is to get our client's  the help they need.
