Community volunteers will offer outreach and camaraderie at Project Homeless Connect from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14 at the Gilroy Compassion Center, a burgeoning homeless shelter located at 8425 Monterey Rd. that serves South County.
Project Homeless Connect is based out of San Francisco with a local chapter in San Jose assisting cities such as Gilroy to organize convention-like gatherings of representatives from various service agencies. Volunteers then provide a hot meal, mobile medical services, clothing and personal care items to anyone who is homeless.
A free lunch, clothing and haircuts will be available during the event.
