The Center in Kaufman is excited to tell you about a new social service agency app they have launched for Kaufman County. LINKaufman provides community resources to non-profits, churches and other organizations who serve those in need. The app provides updated contact information for each organization, as well as driving directions, hours of operation and a list of services offered. Additionally, the app allows community members to locate non-profits and organizations that take specific types of donations. The interactive map allows you to locate services that are closest to you. The listing of resources allows you to browse the many resources available in an easy-to-read format. The Center staff will regularly update the resources in the app so that you have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips! This app is great for individuals who are in need, as well as organizations who serve them. This app is brought to you by The Center in Kaufman and the Kaufman County Homeless Coalition.
