Description
The Community Exchange is a weekly 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 Friday afternoons 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.
