Several area agencies, organizations, businesses, faith communities, and service providers will come together this week for a one day event to celebrate 200 years of serving the St. Joseph community.

The event titled Project Connect will be held on Wednesday October 14th, and is designed to bring the community together in one place to connect individuals and families with valuable resources, services, support, and opportunities.  From housing and healthcare to employment, recovery, food, legal services, family support, and more.

The event will run from 12:30 pm-2:00 pm at the Salvation Army Gymnasium.  Organizations interested in participating are asked to RSVP with Chastity McCourt, Community Missions, at 816-390-8884 ext. 401 or via email at cmccourt@cmcstjoe.org.
