 TITLE: 5 Ways to Get Some Emergency Cash CONTENT: 5\\. Look to Nonprofit Programs for Help\n---------------------------------------\nSome nonprofit organizations may be able to help you get the money you need. For example, organizations like Mission Asset Fund arrange lending circles with other people in your community.\nEach person takes a turn borrowing money from others in the circle and paying it back, and interest rates are generally low. Just keep in mind that joining a lending circle doesn't guarantee you'll be the first in line to receive cash, so it may not help with your immediate needs. But if you can make it work, it can be a low-cost alternative to bad-credit options.\nAlso, take some time to search community centers and other organizations in your area that may be able to provide some immediate relief with your bills. There are nonprofit organizations willing to help people cover utility bills, rent, food and other necessities while you address your immediate financial needs. END
