Community Exchange

This is not a library sponsored event.

Description

The Community Exchange is a monthly program aimed at providing a wide variety of necessary services for anyone in El Paso County. This program is hosted by PPLD and is held in the Knights of Columbus Hall on last Friday of the month from 1 - 4 p.m.

The Community Exchange is driven by non-profit and governmental organizations who exchange their time and expertise with members of the community that are in need. The program is intended to connect individuals and families with a variety of resources at no cost and in one accessible location.

Organizations such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, Springs Rescue Mission, Homeward Pikes Peak, and many others aim to provide information and tangible resources for issues such as food security, shelter, housing assistance, education, and workforce development. Community Exchange is also dedicated to providing creative outlets to assist with personal growth and community building through creative therapy group such as Poetry Heals.
