Anchorage Coalition on Homelessness is seeking volunteers to help out with our 4th Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is a one-day, one-stop event to provide housing, services, and hospitality in a convenient one-stop model directly to people experiencing homelessness in Anchorage. It is a way to bring service providers, government agencies, and the general community together to address a problem that affects everyone. The goal is to move from simply managing homelessness towards really ending it.
These last three events have served over 1284 unique individuals and families and connected them to housing services, given them hundreds of food bags, they received State ID cards, birth certificates and haircuts and many community organizations participating referred them to employment services and provided hundreds of other referrals for various services. We still need many more volunteers so please get the word out. This is one day that can help so many within our community.

Please join us for our next event. Below are the event details:

Date: Friday July 31st 2009
Time: 9am – 5pm Two shifts (9am - 1pm) & (1 - 5pm)
