Class II

RELIEF OF NEEDY FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES

It should be borne in mind by those seeking aid for a needy family that: Ist Relatives are the first and natural source of relief. They will

often prove so when appealed to. In New Jersey, parents and grandparents are legally bound to maintain their dependent children and grandchildren, and children to maintain their dependent parents and grandparents. These may be compelled by action of the Overseer of the Poor in the County Court to contribute according to their several abilities.

2nd Former employers may often be appealed to with success. 3rd Churches make provision for the relief of needy members. The church connection should therefore be ascertained and the church consulted before any action is taken.

4th Fraternal organizations and secret societies-the Freemasons, Oddfellows, Elks, and similar organizations, the G. A. R. and Mutual Benefit societies provide for members, past or present, if worthy, and for families of deceased members. 5th Labor Unions will assist in tracing a deserting husband and will often raise funds for the deserted family.

(It is important to know the essential facts in each case. It is the work of the Bureau of Associated Charities to ascertain these facts. Consult it before helping. Its information is confidential and is sure to prove helpful.)
