April Service Project: Project Homeless Connect

On Saturday, April 9, 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 that is often difficult to understand and navigate. Project Homeless Connect 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.

Shifts:
6:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m.
7:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
12:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m.

Please email Arlene at arlene.brown09@yahoo.com if you want to volunteer. We need your
name, email address, and shift preference by March 18.
