COMMUNITY HUMAN SERVICES CALENDAR
The Human Services Calendar offers residents of St. Joseph County, Michigan a single source for supportive events within the county that relate to all areas of human services or low cost recreation. Because personal health is impacted by many factors, promoting these events directly contributes to the well-being of our community by getting individuals and families connected to needed services, engaged in healthy activities, and interacting with others in the community.
