COVID-19 UPDATE 

 

 

The Martin Luther King Sr. Community Resources Collaborative is here to serve you!!

​

During this crisis, Collaborative Leadership and Staff is still dedicated to serving the community. As a result, some in-person services have been converted to an online webinar format. The bi-monthly Collaborative Intake Orientation, VITA Free Tax Preparation and Atlanta Housing Authority’s Good Neighbor Program have both being conducted online. The lines of communication between program applicants and participants and Collaborative staff have been kept open via email and staff members’ alternative phone numbers.  Connect with us on social media for new resources and information throughout the week.

 

For those experiencing the financial reality of business interruptions, job loss, work hours decreasing, etc., staff members are still available via email to help with applications for financial assistance (deposit/rental, utility, etc.) as well as referrals to other organizations.  For other services like food pantry, the Collaborative has compiled a referral list of links of other organizations that still provide these services. This is a courtesy list. Please contact the agency directly for more information and availability of services. If you need help with applications or accessing services let us know.
