COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Some Cobb County families most in need during these difficult times are getting a vital lifeline from a local nonprofit, which announced Friday it will be giving out thousands of dollars in financial assistance.

The Center for Family Resources says families who fall below 200% of the federal poverty level will be able to access the emergency fund, meaning that a family of four with an income of $52,400/year or less would qualify. The average grant to each family will likely be between $1,300 and $1,500.
