The event will be held on Thursday, Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Gonzales Community Center located at 670 Colton Ave. in Colton. The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership is hosting this project. The purpose of a Project Connect is to provide a centralized location where non-profit medical and social service providers collaborate to provide services to low-income families and the homeless. The collaborative partners hosting the event will provide individuals in attendance with free dental care, family support, housing support services, hygiene products, medical care, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, SSI benefits, legal advice, employment services and more. Additional resource and educational information regarding other available county services will also be provided. These types of events are intended to be a countywide network of service delivery to the homeless and low-income families and individuals in need residing throughout the County of San Bernardino.
