What are Community Resources?
Community resources are programs, organizations, and services that provide support to children, families, and individuals. These resources can help with basic needs such as food, housing, clothing, healthcare, mental health services, transportation, financial assistance, and more. If you or your family are experiencing challenges, these resources are available to provide support.
