Community Partnership’s Ozarks Alliance to End Homelessness seeks 100 volunteers for ninth annual HOPE Connection and Veterans Stand Down.
This event is an annual one-day, one-stop service site for the Ozark’s homeless population, and will feature a Veterans Stand Down with specific services for veterans. HOPE Connection is an outcome-oriented event – a day for people to make changes and have immediate access to essential services. We anticipate having over 60 service providers on-site and serving 650 people.
Each guest seeking services is paired with a community volunteer who serves as an event guide. Guides help navigate services and provide one-on-one support throughout the guest’s time at HOPE Connection/Stand Down. This experience is equally impactful for the guest and the guide.
Volunteers must be available 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15, and be able to attend a 30-minute training 4-6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 14. Lunch and a T-shirt will be provided to volunteers.
For more information and to register, please visit cpozarks.org/event/hope. Registration will close on Wednesday, Oct. 25, or when all positions are filled. To hear stories from past volunteers, check out Stories of Hope at youtube.com/watch?v=dbUkwG8njro.
