(via Hands on Birmingham)
On Saturday, April 10th approximately 1,500 volunteers, public servants, non-profit agencies, faith-based organizations, and citizens will assemble under one roof to help people who are homeless in our community through Project Homeless Connect. This innovative one-day event is about breaking the cycle of homelessness, increasing access to services and ending chronic homelessness in Central Alabama. For one day, Project Homeless Connect will give people experiencing homelessness the opportunity to access an array of services in a system which is often difficult to understand and navigate. Project Homeless Connect (PHC) links homeless individuals, veterans, and families to housing, medical services, identification services, veterans' services, employment services, pet care and haircuts. Be a part of Birmingham's solution to homelessness.
What a shame that we'll all be at camp this weekend. This would have been a great community service project.
ReplyDeleteyeah - I wish we could do it too, but my troops are camping that weekend at Cathedral Caverns.
