Community Care Day Recap – April 23

Resources for People & Pets Experiencing Housing Instability

Thank you to everyone who supported our Community Care Day event at Trinity Center in Walnut Creek, CA — free resource fair for adults experiencing housing instability in Contra Costa County. Through Joybound’s Community Solutions program and Trinity Center case workers, community members were connected with life-changing resources and information ranging from veterinary care for pets to haircuts for people. Events like these are an integral part of our mission to support our local community and keep beloved pets with the families who love them, and out of crowded shelters.
