A “Community Connection” event will take place on Wednesday in The Dalles to help those who are homeless be able to access services. St. Vincent dePaul executive director Dave Lutgens says the event is intended to connect those in need with those who can help in a number of different areas. There will be flu shots and veterinary care will also available, and The Dalles Police Department will be helping those who have lost their identification cards to rectify that. The Community Connection event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mid-Columbia Senior Center on 10th and Cherry Heights in The Dalles.
