Like-minded agencies gathered at the Marco Polo cruise ship terminal on Thursday in an effort to take the mystery out of finding help in Saint John when you need it.
The Together We Care event brings like-minded agencies, non-profits, schools and more under one roof to showcase the services they offer.

Randy Hatfield of the Human Development Council says most people would never know that Saint John has hundreds of people who are not employed.
“You would never know that there are hundreds of people that are hungry in this community, that thousands are precariously housed.
It’s time at events like this to celebrate the work that is happening but also toacknowledge there is a lot yet to be done.” Hatfield said.
It also included sports organizations and even square dancing and Constable Duane Squires of the Saint John Police crime reduction unit tells us they weren’t going to turn anyone away.
More than 300 participants came to check out the event at the Marco Polo Cruise Ship Terminal.
