Save the Date - Community Connect 2026

The Livingston County Homeless Continuum of Care is hosting the 19th Annual Community Connect Event on Saturday, February 7th at 2l42 Community Church in Brighton. This event is a one-day event bringing together free resources, information, and connection to services. Anyone in the community who could benefit from these services and resources is welcome to attend.

The event will offer many valuable resources for Livingston County residents. Some of the free services will include health screenings, haircuts, legal services, and information on topics like housing, utility programs, health and human services and basic needs. Many free resources will be available as well. Those who attend can pick up personal care items, winter gear, laundry detergent, diapers, food and more. No registration is needed to attend the event and families are welcome! Childcare will not be provided. 

This year, the Secretary of State Mobile Office will also be on-site providing a variety of services. Necessary documents and fees will still apply. A list of fees and documentation needed can be found at https://milivcounty.gov/hscb/homeless-care/sos-mobile/.

The Community Connect Planning Team acknowledges this event could not be successful without the help of community partners, sponsorships, and volunteers. Thank you to 2l42 Community Church for hosting the event and to the Brighton Masonic Lodge, Livingston County United Way, and Livingston Sunrise Rotary for sponsoring the event.

Volunteer opportunities are available for event set-up, tear down, traffic directors, and more. Sign up at https://www.volunteerlivingston.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=81231.
