📚🏡 Lakes and Pines is out in the Community!

Our team has been busy connecting with families and community members through our Library Street Outreach events! These outreach opportunities allow us to share information about the many programs and services available through Lakes and Pines, including Head Start, Energy Assistance, Housing Programs, Weatherization, and more.

Stop by, say hello, ask questions, and learn about resources that may be available to you or someone you know. We're proud to partner with our local libraries to help make community resources more accessible to everyone.

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming outreach event!
