Beware of fraudsters pretending to be from the Fire Dept.

The Power of Connection at Community Outreach Sessions

☕At Community Mobile Outreach sessions, we welcome community members with snacks, refreshments, and the chance to learn about local supports.

🫶Our teams from multiple local agencies can assist folks on the spot and refer them to another service at the same table - no waiting days for referrals through emails or phone calls.

🆘Service providers on site support a wide range of needs, including mental and physical health, housing, food, hydro assistance, health check-ins and more.

🎒Being out in public spaces also sparks unexpected connections including with concerned family members and friends looking to support loved ones.

🔗Sometimes referrals happen not just between agencies, but directly with community members - linking people to jobs, rentals, and other opportunities.

❤️‍🩹For someone facing life’s challenges, this kind of support can be dignifying, stabilizing, and even life-changing. We are all stronger when we come together as a community - and at these sessions, we see that firsthand.

🫂If you’re struggling, please know that you are always welcome at sessions held across Haliburton County.
