The EUP Continuum of Care hosted Project Connect, a community resource fair, on March 24, 2010 in Avery Square. The event targeted those who need assistance with finances, housing, employment, or health issues. Seventy-eight people attended Project Connect, their ages ranging from 17 to 82 years old. Of these attendees, 45 had dependent children at home, 29 had a disability, 5 were homeless, and 55 were unemployed. Almost half of the attendees stated that they found Project Connect very useful and many were referred to local agencies for further help. Continuum of Care is coordinated by Barb Reed and is allied with United Way of the EUP.
There are future events planned this year in August for Luce & Mackinac Counties-please check back for more information. |
