Came in wanting gas. Coming from Tennessee, going to California (San Francisco). Said he was here before but didn't come to township. We helped with 5 gallon gas voucher. Wanted hotel room also but we don't help with that. Said he would go to Catholic Charities. Said they stayed at Econo Lodge previously. Driving a nice large white van.

Martey and Jody Larimer

Martey came in asking for food.  He said he and his brother were homeless.  Gave a bag of groceries.  Will not help with gas or lodging, but we have food pantry to help with food.  There was a voucher in the bag for Save A Lot.

JODI LARIMAR

Jodie came after church services on December 24th and received a gas card. THEN the following Friday he and his brother were WALKING around town trying to get $20 to stay at the Effingham Motel. Why were they walking if they needed a gas card on the 24th?  We are speculating that he SOLD the gas card to get enough money to spend a night at the motel. We will not help again.
