It’s that time again – Point In Time, that is!
On Wednesday, January 25, 2012, teams of City staff and volunteers will
strategically fan out across the city to survey all of the homeless
residents who are living outside. As in years past, we are in need of
volunteers who are interested in assisting.
There are many ways you can help with the count. Of course, volunteers are needed
who are willing to participate in the street outreach portion,
to talk with individuals experiencing homelessness and assist with
gathering information.
We also welcome donations of gently used sleeping bags, blankets, coats,
hats, gloves and shoes. We also appreciate receiving new socks and
undergarment items. We are seeking groups who might be interested in making
sandwiches to be given out at the time of the count as well. If you have
other ideas about how you may want to help, please feel free to contact me.
If you are interested in volunteering or you would like to make a donation,
contact Michelle Albert by phone at
703-746-3547 or email at michelle.albert@alexandriava
