Kent County Department of Social Services provides emergency financial assistance and shelter to Chestertown residents

Have you ever wondered how it feels to be of help to someone you don’t know and never had any connection by any means? Many of us will turn blank on this front and it’s quite obvious and rational as we ourselves remain too busy to earn our bread and butter. But, organizations like Kent County Department of Social Services thought it the other way.

It’s the organization that doesn’t boast of what it does, rather stretches out to hundreds of homeless people by whatever way it can such as providing emergency shelters, food vouchers, financial assistance, and resolving heating and electric bill issues to name a few.
