🎒 Back to School Family Fair🎒   We’re excited to invite you to our annual Back to School Family Fair! Join us on Thursday, August 21 from 11am to 3pm, at the ROC, 61 Nickel Street, Port Colborne, for a day filled with activities, music, food, and resources to help families get ready for the new school year.   Families can stop by to pick up backpack and sneaker orders, enjoy live music from Craig, and take part in fun games and programs with EarlyON. We’ll also have a free gently-used clothing booth for school-aged children, so you can find a few extra pieces for the first weeks of school.   Our PC Works team will be there to share employment opportunities for families, and everyone is welcome to enjoy a BBQ lunch and cool off with frozen treats.   Come by, enjoy the day, and let’s get the school year off to a great start together. 💙 (fb)

One crisis can turn your whole world upside down but it doesn’t have to take away your home.   At Port Cares, our Eviction Prevention & Crisis Support team is here to help you stay housed and supported through life’s toughest moments. From mediating with landlords to helping pay overdue hydro bills, and connecting you with mental health or addiction supports, we’re here to stand beside you.   We also offer emergency help through the Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) for eligible households in Port Colborne and Wainfleet.
