New Community had three tables at the 14th Annual Essex County Project Homeless Connect Day, held Jan. 31 at the Branch Brook Park Roller Skating Center in Newark. The day-long event provides Essex County’s most vulnerable residents with an opportunity to receive and learn about various social and health-related services at a one-stop, central location. Representatives from Harmony House, New Community’s transitional housing facility for homeless families; Resident Services; and the Family Resource Success Center were in attendance. Visitors to the three NCC tables received literature about NCC programs and services, food items and clothing. Dozens of agencies were on hand at the event at more than 80 booths throughout the skating center.
