Clark City recently issued the following announcement.

Project Homeless Connect, which brings together those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless and the programs and organizations that can help them, will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 17, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Pearson Community Center, 1625 W. Carey Avenue.

Additional volunteers are needed to help setup for the event on Tuesday, and during the event on Wednesday. Anyone interested in volunteering on either day is asked to sign up online at https://signup.com/go/UDWCWTy, or email Corina Marquez at corina@nevadahomelessalliance.org.

Donations of new or gently used clothing, and nonperishable food are also still needed. Donations may be dropped off at the Pearson Center between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesday (Nov. 16).

Project Homeless Connect is free to attend and is coordinated by the Nevada Homeless Alliance in partnership with the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care and the Clark County Department of Social Service. The Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care works with local governments and other agencies, religious organizations, advocacy groups and others concerned with the issues of homelessness and affordable housing through a coordinated and regional approach to planning and service provision. The Nevada Homeless Alliance works with local agencies, volunteer groups, faith-based organizations and the corporate sector to create effective partnerships and promote collaboration through advocacy, public awareness, and outreach events.

Project Homeless Connect is sponsored by the Venetian Resort, Wells Fargo Charitable Foundation, and MGM Resorts International.
