Description

When a person encounters a personal crisis, they often need to rely on a safety net of relationships and resources. But more than emergency food or rental assistance is needed, so they don’t become trapped in dependence. Leaders from Arlington Thrive will share how to help vulnerable neighbors remain secure in their homes, access childcare, and plan for a brighter future. A Thrive client will offer a firsthand perspective on the impact of these services. Afterward, attendees will assemble 250 health and hygiene kits, providing local families with essentials not covered by SNAP benefits.
