JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP — Residents will have the opportunity to access a wide range of essential support services at an upcoming Social Support Services event scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, at ACME Market.
The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at 5774 Berkshire Valley Road, Oak Ridge, and is designed to connect individuals and families with vital community resources in a convenient, accessible setting.
Organizations including Hope One and Navigating Hope will be on-site to provide information, guidance, and direct assistance. Attendees will be able to learn about and access services such as detox and rehabilitation programs, mental health support, recovery services, and general information and referrals.
Free Narcan training will also be offered, helping equip community members with the tools and knowledge to respond to opioid overdoses and save lives.
In addition, representatives will be available to assist with applications and information for a variety of public assistance programs, including SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), general cash assistance, housing assistance, and utility assistance.
The event is part of a broader effort to bring services directly into the community, reducing barriers and ensuring residents know where to turn for help.
