• A Resource Toolkit for Empowerment: an in-depth look at Community Resources, Suzanne Erb, Cathy Long and Pamela Shaw.
• Have you heard about some resources in passing, but would like more in depth information about them? In this workshop, Suzanne Erb, Cathy Long and Pamela Shaw looked at several resources for shopping, transportation, and community engagement. All these resources can be accessed both using a standard telephone, as well as with more high-tech devices. Not only did we explain how these resources can be accessed, but we provided background information about them. We discussed ACB community calls, several resources for obtaining food, and Go Go Grandparent—a transportation resource that you can use to access LYFT and Uber rides without using a smart phone or computer.
