Project Homeless Connect Volunteers Still Needed
Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a one day event that connects families and individuals that are experiencing homelessness, at-risk of becoming homeless, or that are low-income to social and health services in Skagit County!
This year Project Homeless Connect will take place on Friday August 24th, at Skagit Valley College.
PHC is not possible without the help of hundred of volunteers to create a welcoming event! PHC still needs volunteers to help out in a couple of roles:

If you're interested in sharing your percussion talents on Nov. 11, for a very exciting service, let me know. You don't have to be a professional, just able to keep rhythm. Please contact:
