What:

Two dozen local organizations* that provide food, housing and social services to the homeless year-round will be staffing information tables at an open house, designed to help
communicate about what they do and how they could do much more to help homeless people if they had greater resources and financial support. Attendees will learn how they
can volunteer their time, donate needed supplies or make tax-deductible charitable contributions to help end the cycle of homelessness.
