Flathead Valley Project Homeless Connect
June 16th and 17th, 2011 in Kalispell, Montana
In June, 2012, CAPNM will be partnering with the Samaritan House to sponsor the third annual Flathead Valley Project Homeless Connect (PHC). The need addressed for this grant is homelessness and poverty by gathering over 30 local agencies and businesses to aid the homeless and impoverished in one convenient location. CAPNM knows that homelessness and poverty are serious needs in Flathead Valley, with approximately 500 people homeless and 45% of those individuals are families with children. Other community needs that PHC addresses are hunger, knowledge of employment and education opportunities, knowledge of affordable housing options, as well as assistance with attaining medical services, dental services and public assistance. The direct services offered at the event are free Medical and Dental Services, Financial and Employment Assistance, Pet Services, ID Services, Haircuts, Veterans Services, Legal Assistance, Financial Education Information, Public Assistance, Vision Services, Housing Counseling, Senior Services, Bicycle Repair, Food Baskets, etc.
If you are interested in donating, volunteering, or being a service provider please contact Community Action Partnership of Northwest Montana.
We are also collecting in-kind donations, and are looking specifically for non-perishable food items, clothes, blankets, sleeping bags, backpacks, new underwear and socks, toiletries, books, shoes, and school supplies. If you would like to donate, you can drop your items off at Community Action Partnership of Northwest Montana, located at 214 Main Street, Kalispell.
