Volunteering at Indy Homeless Connect

Indy Homeless Connect 2010
                                               

Tomorrow, March 23, 2010 is the 5th annual 'Indy Homeless Connect'. This all day event is focused on care and outreach for people who do not have permanent housing. The event successfully consolidates a number of available services offered by numerous providers and connects homeless residents to benefits, medical care, mental health counseling and a variety of social services. Getting connected to these services will help lead individuals and families to improved health, self-sufficiency and increased opportunities to find housing.


I will be working as a volunteer tomorrow. My job will consist of helping people connect to various services. . . .such as getting a copy of their birth certificate, medical care and even a hair cut. I am proud to say other REALTOR® Foundation directors will also be volunteering. My good friend, Kimberly Demaree, owner of WIP Downtown will be there in the morning providing free hair cuts. It is such a good feeling to be able to help those in need. Last year there were more than 600 volunteers and the Indy Homeless Connect 2009 was able to serve more than 900 homeless people, including more than 50 homeless children under the age of five.

Please pass this information along to your local church or any organization in central Indiana that help the homeless. For more information go to CHIPIndy.org

Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.  ~Sherry Anderson

No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others.  The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.  ~Author Unknown
