A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about your services.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Personal Items and Emergency Basic Needs Support program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Saline-area residents needing help with personal items and basic necessities?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Call for current office hours and item availability. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call the office to ask what personal-item assistance is currently available.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
