Become a Community Connector

Community Connectors are individuals and businesses who actively support Harbor Connects through collaboration and hands-on involvement.

Community Connectors

Community Connectors are a group of trusted supporters we reach out to via email when a neighbor has a need that we cannot meet through our usual supports. This might include requests for donated household items or furniture, or help covering a specific expense through direct contributions. By engaging this network, we’re able to extend our support beyond our core programs and ensure neighbors receive what they need to stay safe, stable, and supported.
