This Wednesday, January 25th, is Project Homeless Connect, "a one day, one stop event in which the community comes together to serve those most in need. Project Homeless Connect is designed to improve access to services, increase knowledge and understanding of homeless issues and foster collaboration between non-profit, government, private and individual volunteers in the effort to end homelessness. Individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness are able to receive a variety of services such as information on housing, benefits, legal services, substance abuse, mental health, medical services, food, clothing and employment services."
The locations to which homeless persons can come to receive the above services are:
Elijah's Promise Soup Kitchen, 18 Neilson St., New Brunswick, NJ (11:00am - 8:00pm)
The Salvation Army, 433 State St., Perth Amboy, NJ (11:00am - 7:00pm)
The Woodbridge Housing Authority, 20 Bunns Lane, Woodbridge, NJ (11:00am - 7:00pm)
All three locations are in need of volunteers for the day. If you are interested in showing your support by helping out, please register at the Elijah's Promise volunteer site.
The Project is also seeking donations of blankets, winter coats, new and used clothing, socks, gloves and toothpaste. Please bring any donations to Elijah's Promise at 18 Neilson St., New Brunswick, NJ.
