PCC at the CCC on 8/8
Scott-Carver Project Community Connect will be at the Chaska Community Center on Aug. 8.
The Chaska Community Center is donating use of its facilities located at 1661 Park Ridge Drive in Chaska for the 2013 Scott-Carver Project Community Connect (PCC) on Thursday, Aug. 8. This community event offers a one-stop location for direct services to residents of Scott and Carver counties who are "living on little," those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Free medical and dental consultations, employment assistance education, legal assistance, veteran services, housing information, haircuts, and assistance obtaining birth certificates, driver licenses and identification cards will be available. Included will be a Public Health Immunization Clinic and agencies that provide food support, energy assistance, educational opportunities, social services, mental health and chemical dependency services. Transportation to the event and childcare at the event will be provided.
