On November 23rd, our RSVP program was involved with Scott and Carver counties first ever Project Community Connect. This one stop shop event for individuals and families living on little or experiencing homelessness, is based on the national model of Project Homeless Connect.
140 volunteers participated and 125 guests received services on the day of the event taking place from 9:30-5pm.80 service providers offered resources ranging from medical and dental care to legal advising to housing assessments.
Next year we hope to be a part of this event again and will keep RSVP volunteers posted when the next event takes place! There are opportunities for volunteers, donors and sponsors to participate in many different ways.
