Rage Against the Paperwork – Public Assistance Event

Rage Against the Paperwork – Public Assistance Event
Need a little help navigating the nightmarish assistance programs? We’ve got you covered!
>>> September 11
>>> 12:00–4:00 PM
>>> Black Birch Books
A volunteer Public Assistance representative will be hanging out at the bookstore to help with:
+ Heating Assistance
+ Senior Assistance
+ Filling out and filing paperwork (no confusing forms left behind!)
We’ll have applications on-site, so all you need to bring is your favorite pen (because life’s too short for bad pens).
While you’re here, wander the shelves, discover your next great read, and if you or someone you know could use a little extra support, our Family Food Pantry will be open as well.
👉 No appointment. No pressure. Just answers, assistance, and books. We can’t wait to see you!
