Written by WBTA STAFF on January 8, 2020
Press Release:
Issues of housing instability, maintaining gainful employment, and obtaining needed healthcare are not limited to large metropolitan areas, they can occur to people living anywhere. With this in mind, Batavia’s premier advocacy agency for people with disabilities, Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) plus the Homeless Alliance of WNY (HAWNY), working with other community organizations, will be available to those in need in Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming Counties as part of Project Connect on Thursday January 30, 2020.
Join us for a FREE hot meal, with access to local available resources to assist with housing, employment, healthcare, and other needs, during the time that we will be in your County:
Wyoming County: from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, they will be at the Warsaw Food Pantry, located in the United Church of Warsaw, 22 South Main Street, Warsaw, NY 14569.
Orleans County: only one hour thereafter, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, you’ll find them at the Hoag Library, 134 South Main Street, Albion, NY 14411
Genesee County: they will cap off this rather full day, by offering the hot meal and information at The Salvation Army, 529 East Main Street, Batavia NY 14020 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
