How to receive assistance
- The Patrician Society requires all prospective recipients to register annually. Each client family is assessed for eligibility for services on a case-by-case basis keeping in mind family income and assets, number of persons in the household, current financial standing, and extraordinary or unusual family circumstances.
- After review, the Patrician Society will allocate available aid resources as equitably and effectively as possible in order to best serve the most clients.
