Goodwill of the Finger Lakes Opens Community Connections Desk in the Monroe County Hall of Justice

In collaboration with New York's 7th Judicial District, Goodwill of the Finger Lakes has set up an on-site referral service at the Monroe County Hall of Justice. The Community Connections Desk, or the CCD, is located in the back corner of the main lobby area on the first floor.

The CCD is staffed by a Goodwill Community Navigator and volunteers from other human service organizations.

“Often, individuals working within the justice system are experiencing some form of crisis or trauma. Being just outside the courtrooms allows our CCD staff to immediately connect these folks to the appropriate community agencies or services based on what they need at that moment,” says Jen Lake, President & CEO of Goodwill of the Finger Lakes.
