Organizers are expecting a large gathering for a workshop Friday that will look at what services are available and which ones are lacking to address poverty in the community. The program sponsored by the United Way of Hall County is bringing together public and private agencies to help identify gaps and duplications in services provided to individuals and families struggling with educational, medical, hunger, financial or housing hardships. United Way President and CEO Joy Griffin said she’s expecting some 100 representatives from groups and organizations on the front lines of the battle to help society’s most vulnerable at the workshop set to begin at 8 a.m. at First Baptist Church on Green Street in Gainesville.
