Start with what you need.
Getting help shouldn't require knowing which agency, department or program to call. Tell us what's happening. We'll help point you toward trusted resources serving San Bernardino County and the surrounding Inland Empire.
What's going on?
Choose the situation that sounds closest to what you need. Some resources may appear in more than one place because real-life needs often overlap.
One problem is rarely just one problem.
Someone looking for food may also be dealing with an eviction, lost income, transportation, health needs or difficulty replacing identification. St. Joseph Collaborative believes support works better when people and organizations connect instead of working in isolation.
Find your next step.
Browse everything or search using everyday words like “rent,” “dentist,” “ID,” “lawyer,” “job,” “diapers” or “bus.”
