Apopka residents now have a centralized online resource, Community Connect, to find and access essential social services. The website, accessible through the Orange County Public Schools portal, connects individuals with community organizations offering support.
Users can search for free or reduced-cost programs covering needs such as food assistance, housing support, mental health services, and educational opportunities. The platform simplifies the search for help within the local area.
Community Connect also provides immediate crisis support information. Residents in distress can call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, chat with counselors online, or text HOME to 741741 for assistance in multiple languages. Emergencies still require calling 911.
Orange County Public Schools warns that users leave their domain when accessing Community Connect and are subject to the third-party host's privacy and security policies.
