Outreach Event To Provide Free Services

REDLANDS>> Homeless and low-income individuals and families can access a variety of supportive services and information during the Project Connect outreach event on Oct. 19, hosted by the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership and collaborative partners. The event will provide free medical screenings, hygiene products, legal services, employment services, housing support services and child care information and services. Additional information regarding other county services and resources will also be provided. “The homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless often lack transportation and access to mainstream services,” said Office of Homeless Services Manager Tom Hernandez. “This is what makes the Project Connect event and other events that bring together providers and those seeking services to one location, so vital to these individuals and the community.” Project Connect will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Redlands First United Methodist Church, 1 East Olive Ave., in Redlands. Project Connect outreach events are held periodically throughout San Bernardino County to provide a centralized service delivery location where non-profit medical and social services providers can collaborate to best serve those in need.
