TEXAS CITY — The City of Texas City will host its third annual Navigation Day on Thursday, November 6, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nessler Center, located at 2010 5th Avenue N.

According to a city news release, the event is organized by the Mayor’s Task Force on Homelessness and aims to connect individuals in need with essential resources, including housing and food assistance, transportation, veterans’ services, ID assistance, and addiction and recovery services.

Free services such as salon and barber services, mental health screenings, and showers will also be available during the event.

“Although it may not cure the entire dilemma of the unsheltered, Navigation Day is a day when many people can participate to help impact the problem,” Texas City Mayor Dedrick Johnson said in the release. “It’s a true reflection of the community of Texas City coming together.”

City officials said the annual event has helped residents resolve outstanding warrants, find employment assistance, obtain prescription medications or eyeglasses, and enjoy a warm meal and a haircut.
