Resources During COVID-19
During this time, we recognize that many people in our community may be out of work or in need of additional resources. Below, our Client Navigator has compiled a list for food, financial assistance, or safety resources. If you find that you have initial needs that aren’t listed here, please reach out! You can reach Ashley at ashleyb@thealphacenter.org. Next week we will post information on mental/emotional health resources. Stay healthy and safe out there <3
