This year we will focus on homelessness, and would love to have your assistance and support. We have been conducting outreach at Shepherd Parkway (right down the street) to provide services to some of the homeless individuals in the park. We've received a lot of feedback about the services needed - Health Screening, Legal Aid, Housing, Training, Employment, Mental Illness, and Substance Abuse. We will have vendors on site to share their resources.
