The Community Services Council will be searching for at least $10,000 in donations of cash and services to start the Short-Term Crisis Loan Fund.
The fund received $10,000 in August from an anonymous foundation. But that gift requires that the council match it with donations from the community, said Commissioner Jeff Griffith.
Griffith suggested members of the council seek in-kind donations for day care, auto repairs, food and other goods or services people need in emergencies.
