The monthly MAPA events bring together a mix of providers or allies on a monthly basis that can connect, guide, and assist community members with their basic needs.  Community members can walk in, learn about what providers have to offer, and sign up for 20-minute consultations with them. To provide language access, MAPA events feature bilingual providers and access to language line.
