The United Way of Lee, Hendry and Glades counties invites the public to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of its new Cape Coral Resiliency Hub at 9 a.m., Tuesday, April 29. The new site, at 1499 S.W. Pine Island Road, will be co-located with the Goodwill Community Resource Center.
"In March, Goodwill was invited for this CRC location to become a Resiliency Hub and was happy to have it added to the local directory of UW Resiliency Hubs," said Angela Hemstreet, director of Employment Services for Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida.
UW Resiliency Hubs serve as a one-stop-shop where individuals and families can receive wrap-around social services from multiple community organizations. They have provided 524,000 services in Lee, Hendry and Glades counties, and in times of disaster, serve as distribution sites for tarps, water and other emergency needs. Additional social service agencies are also expected to take up residence at the new location.
Visitors are invited to tour the new Hub and learn more about the services offered. Refreshments will be served at the ribbon-cutting ceremony and key stakeholders will make remarks.
