Last Chance!! Sign up for Project Homeless Connect

Donate just a few hours of your time this Saturday, April 9, with approximately 1,500 volunteers at Boutwell Auditorium to help people who are homeless in our community through Project Homeless Connect. This one-day event focuses on 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 today at arlene.brown09@yahoo.com if you want to volunteer.
