The second annual Scott-Carver Project Community Connect was held on Friday, October 28th in Shakopee. Four hundred adults and children came through this one day event geared for individuals "living on little". Guests were able to receive many services on-the-spot, including doctor exams, immunizations, dental services for children, mammograms, vision exams, hair cuts, driver's license/i.d. renewals and more. Guests, with the help of volunteer guides to help them navigate through the available resources, were able to get vital information on housing, employment, child care options, and a vast array of other community resources.
RSVP members provided support to the event by acting as guest intake/navigators, refreshment attendants, and phone solicitation prior to the event. All felt it was a worthwhile volunteer activity, and felt it made the concerns of those living at or near homelessness real to them.
Thank you volunteers for lending a helping hand to those in need in our community!
