(Due to the great need for our services, individuals may only sign up for one appointment at a time and may only schedule an additional appointment after their current appointment is concluded. Scheduling multiple appointments will result in the cancellation of all but one appointment. We appreciate your understanding and assistance in allowing as many individuals to be assisted as possible in these difficult times).
