Project Homeless Connect Volunteers Needed

The 2nd annual Project Homeless Connect will be upon us soon and volunteers are desperately needed to staff and assist at the event!  Please, if you can help, contact folks down at the Key Alliance, they need all the help they can get!

Volunteers needed to help homeless

DAVIDSON COUNTY

A one-day, one-stop event to provide homeless families and individuals access to a wide range of services — from haircuts to legal help — needs lots of volunteers to help, sponsors say.

The event, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 9, is called Project Homeless Connect and will be at the Municipal Auditorium, 417 Fourth Ave. N.

The Key Alliance is the sponsor in partnership with the Nashville Chamber Public Benefit Foundation.

The alliance, an initiative of the Metro Homelessness Commission, asks folks to sign up at www.thekeyalliance.org.

Services the event tries to offer to the homeless include medical care, legal assistance, haircuts, employment help and food.

The Key Alliance is made up of service providers, corporations and faith-based organizations, foundations, government agencies and individuals who are working together to try to end homelessness in Nashville.

The Metropolitan Homelessness Commission is the governing body of The Key Alliance.
