Missoula Project Community Connect, Jan. 26
MISSOULA - The Missoula County Employee Council is proud to support the 12th Annual Project Community Connect (formerly Project Homeless Connect) Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Zootown Church, 3623 Brooks Street, Missoula. The event is designed to provide critical services and hospitality to our most vulnerable community members who are at-risk of becoming homeless or are literally experiencing homelessness; these are people with disabilities, people who have served our country, as well as children and families.
Our local Project Community Connect is part of a national movement and historically coincides with the Department of Housing and Urban Development Point in Time Survey, a homeless census that takes place every January. Project Community Connect demonstrates broad community support to those experiencing housing crises in Missoula County through human connections and core services that can help lead to self-sufficiency. It is designed as a “one-stop” service model with over 100 community organizations and businesses coming together to help meet our community members’ basic survival needs while they work towards obtaining housing stability. Services include: haircuts, clothes, food, pet vaccines, pet food, ID’s, dental cleanings, various medical checks, etc.
In 2017, over 2400 services were provided to 305 Missoulians with the help and support of 156 volunteers and 113 community organizations and businesses.
Rides can be provided to interested residents in the Seeley Lake area. For more information or to schedule a ride call Linda Howard, 406-541-7688. For more information about the project visit their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/MissoulaPCC/
