I wasn't able to find specific information, which I know is what you're looking for. But to get that, you may have to contact the local government of Berrien Springs directly. I've included several links (refer to Source(s), below) to general information about Berrien Springs with web sites that include links to lots of different types of resources.\n\nI'd suggest you use the Chamber of Commerce link first and call the local Chamber directly. They should have the contact information for the Berrien Springs local government office, if you don't have that information already.\n\nSince Berrien Springs appears to be very small, it's likely that any special services for the poor will not be located in the town itself, but may be in a larger neighboring city. \n\nFor assistance with utility bills, contact the utility company/ies directly. They can let you know which agency or non-profit organization they work with. \n\nSome of the web sites I've included in Source(s), below, have links to local church organizations. Most churches either have assistance programs of their own or are aware of assistance programs that are available. Churches are a good place to ask for assistance. You don't always have to be a member of the specific church organization in order to use their services.\n\nGood luck!

There are many programs, depending on where you live. The local parks often have programs. The Salvation Army.... contact your local United Way office. They usually know what resources are available.

Ok, first go to your local chapter of United Way. They can help get you in contact with Meals on Wheels who help out very low income families with lunches,and they can help you get in contact with your local food bank.\n Here in Texas,we have an organization called Elf Louise who in turn sponsors the Marines- Toys for Tots campaign each year gathering,wrapping and  giving toys to children of low income families.

I don't know what's available in your area, but in mine there are soup kitchens, shelters, outreach programs...  One of the churches here even provides the homeless with a directory of what's available, with hours of operation and what to expect when they go in.  There are a lot of people who are concerned with this issue.  If you look, you may be surprised to see how much is available.

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).
