Dear Editor,

We still need volunteers on Thursday at St. Alban’s Church for Homeless Connect, a day-long event that connects homeless to services.

For instance, we need someone who will greet guests and accompany them to the various stations — flu shot, foot soak, referrals to service agencies, haircuts, etc.

We even have photography, so people can take a print away. This was a real hit last year, as guests said they hadn’t had a picture for years and that they were going to give them to friends and family for Christmas.Please join us. To connect, email [email protected].
