•Recently an Associated Charities
Director from one of the mills
called the case worker, informing
her of a fire the night before,
and requested her to call at this
home and offer the services of the
Associated Charities. The Director
stated that he had contacted the
family and understood that they
had lost considerable clothing, but
did not know whether or not they
would accept help.
#The following morning the case
worker called upon the family and
contacted the mother of the fam
ily, and learned that both the
mother and the father were em
ployed at one of the local mills
and there were three children, a
girl nineteen years old, a boy
twelve years old and a girl about
three years old in the family. The
mother stated that while all of
their, clothing was not destroyed,
<j|)he would like some help in re
placing some of the childrens
. clothing. This was Saturday morn
.ing and since it was necessary to
secure ration stamps for the shoes,
the client said that she preferred
meeting the case worker at her
office on Monday and arranging
for the purchases.
The client did not met the case
worker as planned, nor did she
advise the case worker of her
Change of plans. 9 day or two
' later the case worker called the
Director and advisea nuu ^ —
status of the case. The Director
then advised the case worker that
he had been told that the family
preferred to reject the offer Of
help from the Associated Charities.
Also, that he had heard that the
family had accepted quite a large
collection taken up by fellow em
ployees at the mill, after, some
| members of the family had report
edly stated that the Associated
Charities had refused to give help.
The whole purpose of this report
is to give the public a complete
and true account df the handling
of this case.
The Associated Charities stands
ready to help all needy cases in
our community. We do not feel
that our work can be fully ac
complished unless we have the fujl
^cooperation of all parties concern
ed. When cases are reported to oui
case worker, the case is investigat
ed, and if there is need that can
not be met by the family, then
.Associated Charities supplies these
needs through vouchers that are
. written out for the client, re
questing any store of the client’s
