the CARES Corner Store, is next to the community room and will have a curtain divider so the space can easily be expanded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pantry is designed to feel like a traditional grocery store with shopping carts and a checkout. The community room will have a demonstration kitchen where people can learn how to cook healthy meals using the same ingredients available in the pantry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top floor will have a rooftop garden that will provide produce for the corner store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe CARES model is all about having all of our collaborators together in one space,\u201d Araujo said. \u201cWe have the trust within the community, and the partners have the resources and services. By bringing that all into one space, everyone gets what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harrington said it\u2019s important to make social services as accessible as possible because many people she works with at Onward House have multiple jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny commute or anything like that, it\u2019s just more of a barrier,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to being a one-stop shop for social services, Onward House wants the CARES center to serve as a gathering space for neighbors, Harrington said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The community room has a capacity of 200 and will host a wide variety of events, including senior bingo, mental health workshops, community town halls and movie nights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CARES center will officially open on Dec. 7, with a 1 p.m. open house that\u2019s free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe really want this to be the community\u2019s house,\u201d Harrington said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn more about the CARES center and
