Analysis of Drop-in Group Outputs During this report period we have experienced a drastic increase of group attendance. We have also increased the frequency of our mandatory educational topics. The program has seen an increase in the complexity of participants needs, including significant language supports, mental health challenges and economic stress felt by participants. This has required increases in the duration and frequency of support by our multidisciplinary team. We have also seen an increase in additional requests for vitamin and emergency food donations.
