RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES

41

The two outreach vehicles, strategically placed in Riverside and Coachella, make weekly trips to senior centers, schools, libraries, farmer’s markets, and other locations where people need access to resources and services. The outreach van project continues to find ways to expand its crew so that it can increase the frequency of trips and reach more county residents. During the fiscal year 2021-2022, the mobile team attended 66 events and completed 34 presentations on Self-Sufficiency programs and BenefitsCal, distributed 20,366 informational flyers and brochures, established 59 new partnerships, and gave BenefitsCal access to 41 community-based organizations.

Our mobile outreach team provides another way for

customers to apply easily and benefit from the many services we provide. They are equipped to help during emergencies and offer expedited services.
