Community Connect 2013

So this past Friday I tabled for YCGRM at the 5th Annual Community Connect Event for Yamhill County. This one-day resource event was created to connect individuals and families with resources and services in our community. Although we didn’t see a whole lot of homeless individuals who needed our services, lots of other exciting things happened! Here’s a recap

  • 340 guests, 80 volunteers
  • 100 people received dental care and there were 3 medical vans
  • 58 kids bikes/trikes were given out, with 60 helmets
  • 45 people received free haircuts 
  • Half the gym was full with free clothing
  • 113 households received free pet food

So happy that my community can provide so many people with much needed assistance. Here’s to an even bigger and better Community Connect next year!
