Individuals experiencing homelessness in and around Surprise were connected with a range of services and resources during Project Connect on Tuesday at The Salvation Army Northwest Division. Nearly 50 volunteers assisted HSC and more than a dozen partners agencies in serving approximately 110 guests, who were able to obtain housing support, healthcare screenings, job search and preparation, legal assistance, vital records and identification replacement, and more. COVID-19 screenings, tests and vaccines were also provided, as well as clothing, showers, haircuts, food and bicycle repairs. Project Connect helps many individuals remove barriers to move from street to home.
The next Project Connect event is scheduled for May 20th in West Phoenix. For more information, please email us at volunteer@hsc-az.org.
HSC thanks Valley of the Sun United Way for their support in making Project Connect happen across Maricopa County!
