Navigators can offer resources, referrals, and support on a wide array of issues from applying for help with utility bills, to replacing lost identification, to helping fill out paperwork, to discussing options in a difficult situation. This service is available to all community members.
“Community Navigators are a team at The Table who have lived experience of living on low incomes and navigating programs and resources in our local area”, said Ramsey Hart, Executive Director of The Table. “It is currently offered at The Table Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2-5pm and we are excited to collaborate with the Library to pilot offering this program at the Library as well”.
“The Library’s mission is to share knowledge and foster community, and we often assist in finding and connecting folks with information”, said Erika Heesen, CEO/Chief Librarian. “Partnering with The Table’s Community Navigators is a great fit, and we’re delighted to pilot this program at the Library over the next two months”.
