Special Event Details
Washington County Project Homeless Connect - 2012
Dates: 1/26/2012 - 1/27/2012
On a daily basis in Washington County, shelters and organizations assist homeless persons with housing, food, and supportive services. Many individuals and families have recently faced difficult times with the suffering economy and the need for supportive services is at an all-time high. Project Homeless Connect brings these services together at one event, making them more accessible to individuals and families struggling with homelessness. Without Project Homeless Connect some individuals would not receive critical services, like medical, dental, and vision care, housing guidance, legal services, counseling, and veteran’s services.
Project Homeless Connect in 2011 served over
500 individuals. Hundreds of professional and community volunteers came
together to provide the services and support the event. The 6th Annual Project Washington County’s Project Homeless
Connect will be on Friday January 27th, 2012 at Sonrise
Church and we need your help as a volunteer!
How can you help?

opportunity to reach out and connect with the homeless families in our

preparation and serving, activities and other critical services.
