Project Homeless CONNECT
Homeless CONNECT is a one day, one stop fair where homeless
people can receive services and hospitality. At one location,
homeless people receive a goodie bag, a meal, health screenings,
and information about services including housing, employment,
pastoral care, clothing, healthcare, food, legal, and mental
health. This annual event is made possible by dozens of agencies,
caring volunteers, and community funding.
The first two Homeless CONNECT events were held at Broadway
Baptist Church in Fort Worth. Hundreds of clients received
information, services, a meal, and giveaways from agencies in our
Continuum of Care.
Project Homeless CONNECT is funded by the City of Fort Worth
Directions Home, the Texas Department of Housing and Community
Affairs Homeless Housing and Services, First Presbyterian Church,
and Gary Thompson.
The 3rd annual event took place on April 22, 2010 at the First
Presybyterian Church of Fort Worth. A total of 189 clients received
400 direct services and 1,617 giveaways from about 40
agencies.
