Additional Details

The event will serve as a single access point for homeless individuals and families to receive assistance, resources and services including: access to shelter/housing, dental hygiene education, food and clothing donations, legal assistance, child care assistance, employment resources, haircuts, identification cards, medical check-ups, mental health screening, substance abuse screening, Medicaid and Social Security applications, vision, credit counseling, HIV/AIDS testing, and more.

The goals of the day are simple:
