During this one day, one stop event, social service agencies will provide information on topics such as housing, social security, veterans’ services, food stamps and mental health services.
Also, the Cape May County Department of Health, VIM, and the Parrish Nurses Association will be on site to provide health information, as well as blood pressure and cholesterol screenings.
Other agencies participating at the event include The Board of Social Services, CARA, Cape Counseling Services, Social Security, Cape Assist, PRAC, EIRC, South Jersey AIDS Alliance, DYFS, and United Way.
In addition to a hot lunch and agency information, the United Way food pantry and clothes closet will be open. Cloth bags filled with personal care items will also be available for participants.
This is the third year Cape May County has participated in the event. Last year, over 50 people attended and many were enrolled for social and health services.
For information, call the county Department of Human Services at 465-1055.
