Despite receiving sizable grants and loads of donated food, Emergency Aid of Boulder City is facing a financial crisis of its own these days, according to an agency official.

Sue McCullough, immediate past president of the organization, said that because of an increasing number of customers requesting financial assistance for temporary housing and utility payments, as well as transportation costs, the payouts are requiring Emergency Aid officials to siphon off the organization's own funds to pay for the higher cost of operations, which has McCullough concerned.
