During the week of December 4, cities across the country will join together for National Project Homeless Connect Week. Volunteers will join with nonprofits, corporations, government agencies, faith-based organizations and homeless service providers for a one-day, one-stop shop to offer a variety of services. People experiencing homelessness will be connected with benefits, medical care, employment opportunities, substance abuse and mental health counseling, social services, food, housing and shelter.

In Orlando, you can help on Friday, December 8 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shifts are available from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. Orientation will be provided for all volunteers.
