Homeless people in Mahaska County can get help with several services on Saturday (10/23). Love INC (In the Name of Christ) is holding its second annual Mahaska Connect at Central Methodist Church in Oskaloosa. Love INC executive director Susan Doolan says help will be available to get legal and personal services.
“Help to get birth certificates. You need that to apply for housing assistance. Maybe it’s a driver’s license or an ID or maybe it’s medical care or food stamps or banking type information. There’s also some physical therapy services, some mental health services.”
Mahaska Connect will be held Saturday from 8am to 1pm at Central Methodist Church in Oskaloosa. This is free of charge. And there will be transportation to and from the event from New Sharon, Beacon, Fremont, University Park and Rose Hill. For more information, call 641-676-3750.
