Project Homeless-Those whom are giving to the poor they shall be rewarded.

Project Homeless Connect - Tuesday, January 25, 2011
On Tuesday, January 25, 2011, the Trenton/Mercer Continuum of Care (CoC) will conduct a one-day event called Project Homeless Connect (PHC). Project Homeless Connect activities will run 9am to 2pm at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Trenton, NJ. We will provide a hot breakfast and lunch, access to services and helpful items. Homelessness exists every day in Mercer County. This event sponsored by community leaders and designed to provide housing referrals, support services, and hospitality in a convenient one-stop format for people experiencing homelessness.

Last January, we served over 357 individuals at Project Homeless Connect event. And last July, we served over 350 people.

It will allow the CoC to provide those people with much needed services.

The success of Project Homeless Connect is contingent upon communities joining together with local businesses, private corporations, hospitals, volunteers and a variety of providers to positively affect the lives of the homeless in Trenton and Mercer County.

On any given day we have over 627 individuals and 274 children homeless (point-in-time data 2010). This opportunity can help the homeless to move off the street and be connected with the services that can help move them out of homelessness. It costs everyone more to have these individuals and families on the street.

Please become part of the solution and generously donate to this project. We are in need of volunteers, funding for food, clothing and other necessaries.
