Looking for a way to make a big impact for the community in just one day? I’m writing to invite you to help make 2012 Project Homeless Connect (PHC) as successful as last year. First of all, thank you for your past participation in community collaborations to end poverty. If you’ve already signed up to volunteer at PHC or have contributed to this year’s PHC in other ways, thank you again! Please help us spread the word. This year we’re expecting 700-1,000 guests, and we need 300+ volunteers to help make them feel welcome.
