General Assistance

When the first settlers pioneered the wilderness that was to become Campton, they brought the values of independence and self-reliance.

But they also brought the values of compassion and community...

When a neighbor was in crisis or need, they did not hesitate to rally their resources and offer help. At the Campton Township General Assistance Office, this tradition continues.

Here, Campton residents facing difficult economic times can learn about the options available to them. General Assistance frequently educates and informs its clients regarding programs sponsored by State, Federal, and County government, programs ranging from employment assistance to short-term and long-term aid. 

The requirements for receiving Township aid are set by the Supervisor and the Board of Trustees in accordance with state and local law and established Township policies.
