Homeless Awareness Week: Project Connect

The Project Connect community information expo will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Wednesday Nov. 18 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, parish hall, 937 E. Third St., immediately before the God Works! dinner.

This expo is sponsored by the Monroe County Homeless Network. It is free and open to all Monroe County families who need information on local resources that can help with financial and housing needs, whether or not they are currently homeless. More than 25 agencies and organizations will have information tables.

The Gleaners Mobile Food Pantry is scheduled to be on site. There will also be door prizes and children's activities.

Those who need transportation to the event are asked to call (734) 241-2775, ext. 205.

This project is sponsored by Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness and Monroe County Opportunity Program.
