Flagler County Health and Human Services Department is bringing together a full complement of social services providers for its “Flagler Spring Fling Outreach” to provide free information, as well as immediate assistance with things like free food and haircuts – provided by Grace Food Pantry and Flagler Technical College respectively. The event will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on April 26 at Cattleman’s Hall at the Fairgrounds.
“This is a great time of year to provide outreach in the community with our one-stop shopping for these much-needed services,” said Health and Human Services Director Joseph Hegedus. “Sometimes the only reason people don’t get help is that they aren’t exactly sure what they need or where to find assistance. We’re here so no one slips through the cracks.”
In addition to Health and Human Services, the following agencies/services will be available: • Grace Food Pantry providing FREE FOOD • Flagler County Human Services • Flagler County Free Clinic • Family Life Center • Daytona State Fresh Start Program • Flagler OARS • Flagler Cares • Early Learning Coalition • Flagler County Education Foundation • Flagler County SHIP • Flagler County Community Paramedicine • Volusia / Flagler Coalition for the Homeless • North Florida Community Action • Clear Captions • Flagler Family Assistance Center • Career Source • Alpha Women’s Center • Disability Solutions • SHINE • Easterseals • Seniors vs. Crime • Flagler Technical College providing FREE HAIRCUTS • Flagler County Schools FIT Program • Florida Department of Health-Flagler • Boys & Girls Club Volusia/Flagler • Salvation Army • Division of Vocational Rehabilitation • Florida Legal Services • Flagler County Drug Court Foundation • EPIC Behavioral Healthcare • Foundation to Freedom • Flagler Schools Trails Program • Flagler Volunteer Services
