Check us out-- Homeless Outreach of Crawford County
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
I am very passionate about helping people and families that are homeless or near homeless. I volunteer on the board there. Our outreach program currently assist with food drives, pillow/blanket/sleeping bag drives, hygiene kits, (and passing these items out to our people as needed) and agency connection/referral and support. There is also shower vouchers and hair cut vouchers (trying to get this started more). We also connect them to current jobs/employers/ vocational programs and give them boost of self-confidence to get back to work when ready. In the the near future we would like to open a night soup kitchen in our area (we don't have one), a day shelter in the summer and open all the time in the winter (another shelter-all of shelters are to full capacity -we only have 2), and transient transportation program (we only have local transportation program )-this transient transportation will get them back to their families (when out of county/state or to an appropriate program if not available in our county), and in the further future an employment training program. This can be found at Facebook. The director/founder put it on there. The name is called Homeless Outreach of Crawford County. Thank you for listening and taking the time.
Take Care
