  • Getting appointments for food stamps, dental and eye care

Each of the Community Resource Desks are operated through community benefit funding in partnership with local community agencies:

What to expect

Your confidentiality is important to us. The Resource Specialist will ask you for some information in order to figure out the best resources for you. You are not required to share more than you are comfortable. This information is not shared with anyone and is used only to find the best fit resources for you. Service is open to anyone regardless of what they choose to share.

Together, you and the Resource Specialist, will talk through your needs and the best ways they can assist you. The Resource Specialists will connect you to available services for you and your family. You will leave the meeting or call with an action plan that explains next steps. The Resource Specialists will check in with you within 30-days to see how you are doing and to see if you were able to connect to support.

Come visit us in person, call, text or video chat with us today!
