Volunteers, Donations, Services Needed for Hope In The Park, a resource fair for unsheltered individuals and families

 
 
 
The City of Tucson and Tucson Homeless Connect will hold Hope in the Park, a day-long resource fair which will provide various resources for unsheltered individuals and families. Hope in the Park will be held at Rudy Garcia Park, 5001 S. Nogales Highway, southeast corner with Irvington Road, Friday Oct. 11 from 9 AM to 2 PM.

This event will help individuals obtain services in health screening, behavioral health, VA benefits, food, shelter/housing, legal assistance, clothing, haircuts, animal care, and more. Volunteers, donations and services are needed.

The event is sponsored by the non-profit support group Tucson Homeless Connect, and the City of Tucson's Multi-Disciplinary Outreach Team (MDOT), a program of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and Parks and Recreation Department. The mission of Tucson Homeless Connect is to provide a single location where local agencies, government, businesses, medical providers and the faith community collaborate to help the homeless persons with basic needs, referrals and advocacy.

“Tucson Homeless Connect is more than just an event – it's a lifeline for those in need. It brings our community together to offer essential services, compassion, and hope to our most vulnerable neighbors, demonstrating that when we unite, we can make a real difference in the fight against homelessness,” said Thelma Magallanes, MDOT project coordinator.

To ensure a successful resource fair, service providers, donations and volunteers are greatly needed.

Potential donations include bicycles, solar cell phone charging stations, gift cards, tents, sleeping bags, and money. Service providers are needed to offer their agencies’ services to the unsheltered community.

Homeless Connect and MDOT are seeking 300 volunteers for a range of tasks: setup from 7-8:30 AM, registration and guides from 8 AM to 1 PM, general work from 9 AM to 2 PM, and cleanup from 1-3 PM. Volunteers can sign up here: http://www.tucsonhomelessconnect.org/volunteer.html

Event organizers are expecting more than 300 individuals, including veterans, people living on the street, youths and families with children

"Tucson Homeless Connect is a one-stop shop. Volunteers will guide our visitors throughout the resource fair and are an essential part of the event," said Robert Wild, a community safety navigator for HCD’s Housing First Program.

Tucson Homeless Connect is a non-profit 501c3. Tax-deductible donations may be mailed to: Tucson Homeless Connect, C/O Britni Hall, 8340 E Vicksburg St., Tucson, AZ 85710 or go to this site: Donate - Tucson Homeless Connect

For more information contact Britni Hall at Tucsonhomelessconnectcharity@gmail.com

TPCH has spent all available Prevention and Rapid Resolution Funds

Thank you to all case managers that helped apply for and distribute the TPCH Prevention and Rapid Resolution Funds through the community! 

We spent all of our original $400,000 back in June, and have now spent the additional $200,000 that was dedicated to the program. With this, we do not have any more funding to continue this program. Case managers are encouraged to continue working with clients to determine alternative sources of funding and assistance.

Thank you once again for your assistance with getting these funds to the community.
