The Couple Checkup is designed to help you and your
partner build a more satisfying and intimate relationship. Just answering
the questions will stimulate thoughts and attitudes about your relationship.
It is designed to activate dialogue, discovery, and increase the overall
quality of your relationship.
It will help you discover your strengths as a couple. Strengths are what enable you to
enjoy, and to continue developing a healthy relationship. It will also help
you identify issues that are threatening the vitality of your relationship
and may need to be addressed.

Our mission is to serve
the poor and needy of Iberia Parish with immediate assistance for
critical and basic human needs. We treat clients with respect, dignity,
and cheerfulness; counseling them on personal and financial issues;
encouraging them; and praying with them.
In 2010, the Social Service Center continued to serve with outstanding
support from the community. 70% of our funding was directly from
individual donors. We also received funds from several local Churches,
Iberia Parish, the City of New Iberia and the United Way.
Clothing is received from individuals, from local retailers and from
Coats for Kids. We purchase food for the Food Pantry and also receive
food from Second Harvest Food Bank, the Food Net food drive, the Postal
Workers food drive, food drives at schools, Churches and other
organizations and individual food donations. We were able to give about
60 Easter baskets, 300 Christmas toys, school supplies to over 50
children and other special items. We thank God for His care of the poor
through our generous benefactors.
The median age of our clients is 50. Of our clients who receive food
stamps, most get less than $275/month. 50% of our clients are unable to
work because of age or health. Over 90 of our clients were homeless or
transient. Clients can get help once a month, but 50% of our clients
only once or twice during the past year.
Hours of Operation:
Monday through Thursday
9:00 am & 2:30 pm
We serve the first 15 people in line
at 9:00 am and the first 15 people in line at 1:00 pm.
Volunteers are always welcome!
