An annual event that offers free services to residents and provides information about available resources in the region is being reimagined in the age of COVID.
The Livingston County Homeless Continuum of Care Community Connect Planning Committee has announced the COVID edition of Community Connect, which is being called Community Connect on the Go - 2021. In the past, the free event has connected people with needed information, resources, and free services in a family-friendly, convenient environment. Guests were provided access to free health screenings, legal consultation, and employment services featuring local job opportunities, as well as food, clothing, books, personal care items, haircuts, and more. But due to restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the planning committee decided to focus on basic needs.
