We are here to help support Audrain residents during tough times. Through our Uplift Clearinghouse, Uplift Mid-MO offers funding opportunities to qualifying clients for a variety of needs including rental assistance, deposit assistance, non-electric utility payments, and other unexpected costs. If a client is not sustainable, we will work with them to remove barriers and become sustainable long-term through our Caring Connection program.
