Representatives from Harmony House, New Community’s transitional housing facility for homeless families, and the New Community Family Resource Success Center provided information to participants of the 17th Annual Essex County Homeless Connect Day on Jan. 25 at Essex County College. New Community Board Member and Outreach Coordinator Madge Wilson also attended and brought items like winter coats for the participants.
The free event is held annually for homeless individuals to receive health screenings, haircuts, food and valuable information about resources.
