Morning and all-day volunteers can check in starting at 9:00 a.m. and afternoon volunteers can check in starting at noon. You will be able to leave your t-shirt with us at check out to be recycled for next year.

While Project Homeless Connect is new to this community, it originated several years ago in San Francisco and has been proven effective in more than 100 communities throughout the United States.

The Homeless in our Community Lack Many Things We Take for Granted

The event will serve as a single access point for homeless individuals and families to receive assistance, resources and services including: access to shelter/housing, dental hygiene and education, food and clothing donations, legal assistance, child care assistance, employment resources, haircuts, identification cards, medical check-ups, mental health screening, substance abuse screening, Medicaid and Social Security applications, vision, credit counseling, HIV/AIDS testing, and more.

The goals of the day are simple:

–Improve access to services and housing for homeless consumers in Columbia and Boone County.

–Engage and increase the collaboration of homeless consumers, local businesses, non-profit agencies, and individual volunteers to create solutions for homelessness.

–Improve the system of care by creating opportunities and sharing ‘best practices’ among homeless providers in our community.
