Community Education/Outreach

• Developed a resource pamphlet to assist the homeless in accessing services and to provide information to the community about services for the homeless and nearly homeless.
• Sponsored several Hunger & Homeless Awareness Events which attracted over 400 persons. The authors of “Under the Overpass” and “Seven Steps to Success I Learned from Homeless People” were brought in to speak to the community. The events were taped by the local public access channel which broadcasts the events periodically. The events were also made into a CD and are available for showings to church groups, Rotaries, and other interested community groups.
• Supported the Longmont Youth Council’s Art Contest to select a piece for a poster to hold Resource Cards specifically for homeless youth.
• Launched “Community Cares” packages providing food and phone gift cards, bus tokens, etc., a non-monetary way for the public to help the homeless.
