Clatsop Community Action along with 30 local and state social service agencies are hosting the First Annual Clatsop County Project Homeless Connect on Thursday, January 28th from 10-4 at Calvary Assembly of God in Warrenton. This is a one-stop, one day, direct services event for homeless individuals and families. Homelessness is defined as individuals living on the streets, doubled up in crowded housing, couch surfing, paying for a hotel by the week or month, awaiting foster care, living in a travel trailer, being incarcerated, or residing in a treatment center. Individuals/Families that participate will have the opportunity to receive a free haircut, hot meal, personal care items, warm clothing, and access to several agencies allowing them to sign up for food stamps, medical insurance, birth certificates and Oregon IDs as well as receive hearing and sight testing, immunizations, and much more. We expect to serve 100-200 homeless individuals and families.
We still need volunteers to participate on the day of the event as escorts, sitting with families and individuals while they have lunch, staffing the personal care/warm clothing area, doing intakes, etc… More information is on the attached volunteer form. Also, during the month of January we would like to work with your food pantry to help us get the word out about the event by having flyers available as individuals pick up food boxes.
If you have questions or would like to participate, please contact Jess Maclay (Homeless Case Manager/Coordinator for Project Homeless Connect) at 325-1400 ext 104 or jmaclay@ccaservices.org.
