“Helping Neighbors In Need”
“Helping Neighbors In Need”Thank you to everyone that helped Cultivating Community Connections raise money for Laurel Advocacy and Referral Services (LARS) during the month of October. We are pleased and excited that over $400 was donated and given this morning to LARS. Our efforts are on-going. Every penny goes to restock the food pantry and provide critical financial support for neighbors in need. See all at CCC/LARS
Also there will be an announcement about a Personal Shopper who will work for you and with you. She will put together outfits from comfy to dressy, send you photos, and deliver purchases to you. The array of outfits she has already put together are amazing utilizing everything available on this website! Keep checking !!!!

How Do You Respond? When someone on the street asks you for help, how do you respond? We all find ourselves confronted with these situations, and it can be uncomfortable because we don’t know the right thing to do or say. Homelessness is easy to ignore as we go about our daily routines, but coming face to face with someone on the street is a gut-wrenching reminder that 29,670 people don’t have a safe place to sleep at night, right here in our nation’s wealthiest state.
Changes Due to COVID-19: LARS is continuing to keep the health and safety of our clients, volunteers, employees, and community at the forefront as we navigate this public health crisis. LARS is an essential service and we are committed to being here for the families and individuals who need extra support during this time.
LARS MISSION STATEMENT: Our Mission is to enable homeless and low income people in Laurel who are in crisis to achieve stability and long term self-sufficiency. Our Vision is a community that treats all people with dignity and helps everyone meet their basic needs.
